The recent theoretical developments concerning if the droplets from the oil seeding are small turbulent and self-turbulizing flames [1, 2, 3] enough. 2 Then illuminating the combustion zone show that a knowledge of the local and instantan- with a laser beam shaped into a thin sheet of eous position or velocity of the flame front is of about 50× 0.5 ram, the particles scatter the light primary interest. Indeed, knowledge of the flame- in the unburned region and thus the beam can be front movement and of the velocities of fresh and visualized. On the other hand, beyond the flame burned gases measured at the same time is essential front the particles are evaporated in a thickness in order to understand the mechanism of turbulent smaller than the flame width and do not scatter premixed flames, the light: The frontier between the bright and dark The optical techniques used up to now are very regions is the cross section of the flame. It is easy useful for a qualitative analysis; In spite of a num- to take a photograph or a film or to record on ber of studies, they remain insufficiently accurate videotape this trace of the flame front.
