Abstract:
We report the development of a three-legged, high-speed, high-energy, burst-mode laser system for the simultaneous measurement of velocity and key combustion species in turbulent reacting flows. The laser system is designed to simultaneously amplify a four-pulse sequence [including a doublet pulse for particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements] with variable pulse separations at a repetition rate up to 500 kHz and a burst duration of 1-10 ms. With the three-legged, burst-mode laser system, we demonstrate simultaneous measurements of velocity using PIV and planar laser-induced fluorescence imaging of hydroxyl and formaldehyde in a turbulent jet flame.

The quadriceps femoris, the most visible muscle of the anterior compartment, is integral for leg extension and thigh flexion. It is formed by merging four distinct muscles — the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and rectus femoris. The quadriceps tendon, a shared tendon of the four quadriceps muscles, is affixed...

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
