Abstract
The paper presents the results of observing, in a real time, the process of combustion in air of aluminum nanopowder ignited by laser radiation. The obtained results convincingly evidence the possibility and perspective of visualization of ignition process by means of laser monitor. The video images allow observing the main stages of the combustion process including starting of combustion in the place of laser radiation focusing, spreading of the heat wave and appearance of the second combustion wave. For quantitative analysis of the combustion process, we suggest to analyze the average intensity of images registered by laser monitor.
