In this paper, we report an experimental study using tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) in high enthalpy sphere flow field. Based on the relatively strong direct absorption level of the oxygen atom 5P3 ← 5S02 transition near the wavelength of 777.2 nm in a high-temperature environment, a flow-field component measurement system was set up to measure the flow field temperature and the component concentration in the region where the head of the sphere model. The analysis of the experimental data shows that the sphere flow field can achieve a high total temperature of more than 10000 K at the stationary point of the ball head model, and can be used to carry out the study of the components of the disturbed flow field and the total temperature study. This experiment has preliminarily verified the feasibility of using the oxygen atom TDLAS to evaluate the high enthalpy sphere flow field.
The glow-discharge plasma static calibration system described in this study was meticulously designed to address the pressing need for Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) measurements of concentration and temperature parameters involving non-stationary component such as oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the investigation of hightemperature gas effects. Employing high-frequency high-voltage alternating current (HF-HVAC), the system efficiently dissociates low-pressure gas within the discharge tube, swiftly generating a plasma rich in the targeted components. Notably, when a gas mixture consisting of 5% NO and 95% He is introduced into the discharge tube, and the output power of the discharge power supply is optimized to its maximum, alongside maintaining a gas pressure of 200 Pa within the discharge tube, the concentration of metastable oxygen atoms reach 3.66×109 cm-3. However, the detection of absorption peaks corresponding to N atoms was not feasible, attributed to the greater instability of N atoms compared to O atoms. In contrast, when a mixture containing 1% N2, 99% He, and trace amounts of air was introduced into the discharge tube, absorption peaks attributable to both O and N atoms were observed simultaneously. By adjusting both the gas pressure and discharge current within the discharge tube, precise control over the concentration of the targeted component is achieved, facilitating accurate calibration of the modulated laser absorption spectrum. The plasma system furnishes a potent instrument for diagnosing high enthalpy flow fields and contributes to the investigation of hightemperature gas effects.
