Abstract
This paper presents an efficient technique for the characterization of thermal transport properties in turbulent flows. The method is based on the temperature dependence of fluorescence, induced by laser radiation, of an organic dye. The laser-induced fluorescence technique is combined with 2D laser Doppler anemometry, in order to measure in the same sample volume simultaneously and instantaneously the temperature and velocity. The technique is demonstrated on a turbulent heated round jet: the mean and fluctuating dynamic and thermal fields are investigated, and the temperature-velocity cross-correlations are determined in order to characterize the turbulent diffusivity and the turbulent Prandtl number.
