Abstract
Combustion science involves many complex phenomena, some of them entangled by gravity effects. Reduced gravity will be a mean of sorting out the role of some processes, thus allowing a better understanding of the phenomena. A set of combustion areas with reduce gravity relevance has been identified. Among these areas, one experiment was selected: the laminar jet diffusion flame (LJDF). In order to study one of the most interesting experimental characteristics in combustion, the velocity field, a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) instrument, together with a LJDF workbench, has been set up. Main concerns in PIV applied to flames are: tracer selection and seeding, optical system, velocity range, photography and film interpretation. Attention has been payed to these subjects. Measurements performed with a LJDF are reported and critically discussed.
