dimensional distribution of OH* could reflect the lift-off heights and flame shapes by analyzing both normal gravity and reduced gravity CH4-N2/air flames. Compared with laminar flames, turbulent flames are less stable [14,15]. It’s hard to determine the structure of the turbulent flame due to massive wrinkle and vortex in the flame downstream. Nada [16] reports that the three-dimensional flame structure caused by strong fine scale eddies in turbulence appears even in laminar flamelet regime in the turbulent combustion diagram. There are significant differences between diffusion flames and premixed flames [4]. In this study, the distributions of OH* and CH* chemiluminescence are measured and discussed in CH4/O2 co-flowing jet diffusion flames by employing hyperspectral and ultraviolet cameras. The influence of different gas velocities on the structures and the radiation characteristics for laminar and turbulent flames are also studied. 2.Experimental Setups Fig. 1 shows the spectral diagnostics experimental platform for jet diffusion flames which consisting of four parts: the combustion system, CCD camera system and the detection apparatuses for OH* and CH*. The visible flame images are recorded by a high resolution CCD camera (JAI Inc., BB-500CL).

2.1. Burner and operating conditions The coaxial three-channel non-premixed nozzle is applied in this study. As shown in Fig. 1, fuel is pumped through the central channel, oxidant goes through the intermediate annulus and nitrogen isolates the flame from the environment at outer annulus. Pure methane (>99.9%) is used as fuel, and pure oxygen (>99.9%) is used as oxidizer. Both of them are measured and controlled by mass flow meters. Four velocity conditions range from fuel-rich combustion to fuel-lean combustion are chosen to discuss the influence of velocity on flame. The O/C equivalence ratio ([O/C]e) varies in a range of 0.70 to 1.20, defined by the following equation: [O/C]e=[O/C]a/[O/C]s

where [O/C]a is the actual O/C molar ratio calculated from the feeding flows of fuel and oxygen, and [O/C]s the stoichiometric O/C molar ratio. Table 1 lists the experimental conditions. Reynolds number (Re) in Table 1 is calculated by the following formulas: Re

2.2. OH* and CH* measurement approach The main OH* radiation exists in the UV region (280-350nm), with the most intense radiation occurring at 309nm [18]. In this study, the OH* emission (A2∑+-X2Π) is obtained by a high-spatial-resolution UV imaging system (EX-3011B, Isuzu Optics) consisting of three parts: bandpass filter, UV quartz lens and UV cameras, as shown in Fig. 2. The CCD panel consists of 1024×255 pixels with 14bit output. The spatial resolution in image is about 0.175 mm, and the exposure time of each image is set to 1000ms in this study. The CH* radiation exists in the visible region, with the most intense emission occurring at 431 nm [19]. In this study, EMCCD line-scan hyperspectral camera (V8E-EMCCD-RS, Isuzu Optics) is used to detect the twodimensional emission distribution of CH*(C2 ∑+-X2Π). The spectral transmission technology and CCD image acquisition technology are combined to integrate a EMCCD which can quickly obtain spectral images. This imaging system consists of three parts: objective lens, spectrometer and camera. The target light passes through the objective lens and the entrance slit successively. The slit allows only a single linear array of light entering into the detection system. The spectral range of EMCCD is 380-800nm, and the spectral resolution is 2nm (FWHM), with the maximum image size of 1004(H)×1002 pixels(V). 3. Results and Analysis 3.1.

Fig. 3 shows the OH* 2-D profiles at different velocities at [O/C]e =1.20. With the increase of velocity, the flame height increases and then decreases. The flame shape is very clear at low velocity. When the velocity increases to a critical value, the flame becomes unstable. The OH* distribution of the downstream is inhomogeneous. The flame shape becomes illegibility, indicating the flame changes from laminar flow to turbulence [20,21]. The increase of velocity enlarges the relative velocity between the fuel and oxidant. The increased relative velocity intensifies the shearing action of the two streams and enhances the mixing. It can be seen clearly that the core reaction area of the flame shrinks to the exit of the burner gradually with the increase of velocity, as shown in Fig. 3. Comparing with the steady laminar flames, the change of concentration gradient for the turbulent flames is more remarkable while the reaction is more intense.

b. condition 8 c. condition 10 Fig. 4 OH* radial distribution
d. condition 16
The radial distributions of OH* in different axial positions of the steady laminar flow have been analyzed in the previous section, and three distribution types are classified: the bimodal distribution, the uniform distribution and the normal distribution. With the increase of gas velocity, the flame changes from laminar flow (condition 6) to turbulence flow (condition 16), and the OH* radial distribution also changes. When 0 ≤ L ≤ 9De, the OH* distribution is consistent with bimodal distribution, and a clear flame front is formed where reactions take place. No matter it is laminar or turbulent flame, the position of the main reactions does not change and an OH* peak occurs at L=3De. With the propagation of flame, the OH* gradually approaches the normal distribution in laminar flow while the uniform distribution in turbulent flow. The OH* concentration gradient in laminar flow is higher than that in turbulent flow. 3.1.2. CH* distributions

b. condition 16
In diffusion flame, CH* appears at the initial region of the fuel side which is closer to the central axis. Fig. 5 shows the CH* distributions in laminar and turbulent flames. The CH* distribution has minor difference between laminar and turbulent flames than that of OH* distribution. The generation range of CH* has a tendency to expand to the downstream in turbulent flame. The CH* would not directly reveal the contour of flame but it does indicate the internal structure clearly. As the gas velocity increases, the variation gradient of CH* from the central axis to the flame front increases significantly, which indicates that reaction in the core zone is intensified. Fig. 6 shows the CH* radial distributions at different axial positions in laminar and turbulent flame. The CH* peak takes place at the position of 0.5 De, and the radial position does not change with the change of velocity.

3.2. Two-dimensional distributions of OH* and CH* with different [O/C]e The two-dimensional OH* distribution of different [O/C]e in laminar flame is shown in Fig. 7. When [O/C]e increases to 0.80, the generation of OH* extends along the axis of flame as well as the reaction zone. Similarly, the variation of OH * radial distribution can be divided into three parts: I. the bimodal distribution (L<7De), II. the uniform distribution (7De≤L<9De) and III. the normal distribution (L≥9De). Compared with [O/C]e=0.70, the change is mainly in Part III which extends about 10De in the downstream of flame. When the [O/C]e increases to 0.90, the flame changes from fuel-rich to fuel-lean gradually, and the increase of [O/C]e has little influence on the overall distribution of OH*. The distance from axial boundary to the burner maintains a length of 15De.
Fig. 7 Comparison of OH* two-dimensional distribution with different [O/C]e (laminar flame)
It indicates that the transitional region shrinks with the increase of [O/C]e. The transitional section fades away when [O/C]e>1.00 , and the flame transforms from core region to fully developed region. In addition the proportion of fully developed region increases. The two-dimensional OH* distribution at different [O/C]e can further indicate that the difference between fuel-rich and fuel-lean flames occurs in the downstream. The structure of fuel-rich flame consists of three parts: the core region, the transition region and the fully developed region. Compared with fuel-rich flame, the core region of fuel-lean flame does not change, while the fully developed region extends to the transition region which fades away gradually.
Fig. 8 Comparison of CH* two-dimensional distribution with different [O/C]e (laminar flame)
The comparison of CH* two-dimensional distribution with different [O/C]e is shown in Fig. 8. The CH* distribution doesn’t change with the flame changing from fuel-rich condition to fuel-lean condition, the distance from axial boundary to the nozzle is about 6De, and the radial boundary is 1.3mm from the central axis of the flame. In the flame, the CH* generates near the fuel side which is also close to the central axis, and CH* mainly concentrate in the flame front. According to the results of OH* distribution above, the difference between fuel-rich condition and fuel-lean condition mainly occurs at the downstream of the flame, thus the differences between CH* two-dimensional distributions at different [O/C]e is small. 4. Conclusions The two-dimensional OH* and CH* distribution and the structure of coaxial jet diffusion flames at different velocities are studied by hyperspectral and ultraviolet cameras. OH* radial distributions at different axial positions are mainly classified as three forms: the bimodal distribution, the horizontal distribution and the nearly normal distribution. The distribution area of CH* is smaller than that of OH* and OH* mainly distributes in the area which is about ±1.5De away from the central axis. CH* only exists in the area where is about ±0.5De away from the central axis. The CH* distribution is basically uniform, and the

double peak distribution exists at all conditions. The structural changes in the flame propagation process can be obtained according to the radial distribution of OH* at different axial positions: the jet core section with OH* radial bimodal-distribution, the jet transition section with OH* radial uniform-distribution and the jet fully developed section with OH* radial normal-distribution. The flame fades away before the fully developed region forms in turbulence. The OH* bimodal region doesn’t change with the increase of [O/C]e. The OH* axial distribution changes from the bimodal to normal distribution when [O/C]e>1.00, and the uniform distribution region no longer exists. The transition region is shrinks and vanishes with the increase of [O/C]e. Fuel-rich and fuel-lean flame make differences only in the downstream of flame.
