Understanding the soot production process is crucial to the design of new burners, such as those in industrial furnaces. Indeed, these burners, which use turbulent combustion processes, rely on radiative heat transfer from the soot particles to the furnace walls to operate properly. The soot formed within the radiation region must the be oxidized in order to avoid health and environment issues. Although there has been significant progress over the past two decades in relation to laminar flames, the interaction between turbulence and soot production is still an open problem. This works presents recent experimental results of the instantaneous and mean soot distribution on non-premixed turbulent ethylene/air flames stabilized at a bluff-body burner. The turbulence intensity in the wake region of this burner is very high, leading to a soot intermittent presence and to highly distorted soot structures. The soot distribution is measured using laserinduced incandescence (LII), with 266 nm excitation at 10 Hz, 0.8 J/cm2 fluence and collected at 400 nm by an intensified camera. The results of the LII technique are compared to those of a classical of light extinction technique. Polyciclic aromatic hydrocarbon distribution results are also presented. The results obtained allow to characterize the soot probability density function distribution. In flow situations where the wake turbulence is controlled by the air flow, the soot volume fraction PDF is shown to correspond to a lognormal distribution.
