Abstract: This paper describes studies of structure and dynamic behavior of combustion by use of laser-aided two-dimensional flame visualization. Attentions are given to the recent development of the laser sheet imaging techniques of velocity, temperature and concentration and its application to flame visualization. Visualization of turbulent diffusion flames by use of RIV (Rayleigh scattering Image Velocimetry) and OH-PLIF conducted by the authors are presented together with the short review of laser diagnostics of combustion.

Keywords: flames visualization, 2-D laser diagnostics, measurements of velocity, temperature and species concentration
