Auto-ignition of hydrocarbons in turbulent flow environments plays a key role in many engineered combustion systems. The ignition in diesel or HCCI engines is specifically initiated by these complex processes and thus serves millions of individual locomotion. However, self-ignition processes also have unwanted phenomena, e.g. B. as knocking in gasoline engines is highly relevant. The subject of this thesis is the experimental investigation of the self-ignition of hydrocarbons in turbulent flows with the aim of describing these spatiotemporally highly dynamic...
