Title: Imaging Based Combustion and Flow Diagnostics
Abstract: In this talk, Professor Yang Zhang will focus on the use of imaging-based techniques for combustion and flow diagnostics, which places a particular emphasis on quantitative data extraction and enhanced visualisation from direct imaging methods, such as high-speed imaging and stereoscopic imaging.
Besides colour analysis and selective enhancement to add an extra dimension to the comprehension of combustion, the feasibility of detecting infrared emissions from digital images through advanced digital image processing methods will be shown, taking advantage of the infrared sensitivity of most modern digital cameras.
Brief bio:
Professor Zhang's research spans a wide range of applications, from fundamental investigations of single fuel droplet combustion and fire spread, to the analysis of flame dynamics and structures in gas turbines.
