• In this picture, we see data visualization of direct numerical simulations of premixed ammonia/hydrogen flames done using the CFD code AVBP. The color legend corresponds to the normalized heat release rate of the four flames that have different ammonia/hydrogen content in the fuel, and different equivalence ratio. The amount of hydrogen increases from left to right, and the equivalence ratio increases from right to left. The work was performed with Thierry Poinsot, Davide Laera, and Victor Coulon, researchers from CERFACS lab at Toulouse, France. Corinna Netzer and Terese Løvås from NTNU also supported this work.

  • Just a slightly more scientific/informative (but perhaps less aesthetic) version (no. 1). When sound waves propagate inside a gas turbine, the flames also oscillate in response. This image was made by creating sound waves in a lab model of a gas turbine combustor and then filming the flames at 10,000 frames per second. The video was mathematically transformed into an image that reveals oscillations, and then coloured by relative positions in the oscillation cycle (i.e. phase), so regions with the same colour oscillate in unison. The images were recorded in the Turbulent Combustion Lab. Håkon Tormodsen Nygård helped with setup and filming of the experiment. The idea for this kind of visualisation is taken from Worth et al. 2019. Photo: Abhijat Verma/NTNU

  • An array of nails was inserted into the surface of a flowing water tank, creating a matrix of interacting surface ripples that crosses each other in a grid pattern. The central bright section is a backlit acrylic plate with printed random dot patterns. These dots can be used to measure the surface topography in a process known as synthetic Schlieren. The purpose of the experiment was to shed illuminating insight into how surface waves and turbulence affect oxygen dissolve rate into water. The experiment was conducted by Leon Li and Pim Bullee.
