Simplified Systems |
 Sprays: droplet stream combustion, supercritical behavior, emulsion flows; Gas burners: flat flames, slot burners, electric flames; Coal combustion: entrained flow reactor, ammonia bisulfate condensation, mercury formation and capture; Aerosols: Ion driven flows, indoor air modeling.

Goals |
 Simplified systems that mimic a specific behavior of interest of a more complex systems, such as spray combustion, utility coal plants, and IC engines, are studied to obtain fundamental information. In many cases, numerical simulations are developed in conjunction with the experiments to provide insight into influencing factors. Although our motivation remains in better understanding of a practical systems, diagnostic tools utilized to meet these goals are concurrently being evaluated in to prove flexibility and accuracy in non-ideal settings.
