Reactive mixing of liquid flows
In case of reactive mixing of two different pH-solutions a pH-sensitive LIF tracer is used allowing 2-color LIF imaging for quantitative pH measurements. For scalar flow imaging this ratiometric 2-color LIF method is best practice, because its LIF signal ratio is independent of local laser energy and tracer concentration variations as well as laser beam absorption effects. On the other side 2-color LIF imaging requires two detection channels realized with two cameras or one camera in combination with an image doubler.

In case the mixing process is well presented by the mixture fraction, the LIF signal of one seeded flow component is already proportional to the volume (=mixture) fraction. This simple 1-color LIF strategy needs corrections for local laser energy fluctuations and laser beam absorption effects. LaVision’s FluidMaster systems support such corrections for quantitative flow imaging.
