Abstract
This article reports observations of structures consistent with triple flame reaction zones in the stabilization region of turbulent nonpremixed jet flames. Previous studies of laminar mixing layers and nonpremixed jets show Hi brachial structures, however reports of triple flame structures in turbulent flowfields are sparse, The asymmetric coflow, which facilitates visualizing the luminous flame structure, is described and the observed double and triple flame structures are discussed. Flame luminosity data is presented and the relevance to CH planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) studies of leading edge flame structures is discussed. Furthermore, connection is drawn to select theoretical studies of triple flames and partially premixed combustion.
