Overview

Robert S. Barlow is affiliated with Sandia National Laboratories in the United States, focusing on research primarily in the fields of engineering and chemical engineering. Their work spans a range of subfields including computational mechanics, fluid flow and transfer processes, aerospace engineering, biomedical engineering, and atmospheric science.

The scientist's research topics emphasize combustion and flame dynamics, advanced combustion engine technologies, and combustion and detonation processes. Additional areas of focus include atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, fire dynamics and safety research, phase equilibria and thermodynamics, and radiative heat transfer studies.

Among recent scientific contributions are several papers published in significant venues. Notable publications include:

  • Combustion regime identification from machine learning trained by Raman/Rayleigh line measurements, 2020, published in Combustion and Flame
  • Extinction strain rates of premixed ammonia/hydrogen/nitrogen-air counterflow flames, 2022, published in Proceedings of the Combustion Institute
  • Classification of flame prehistory and quenching topology in a side-wall quenching burner at low-intensity turbulence by correlating transport effects with CO₂, CO and temperature, 2021, published in Combustion and Flame
  • Detailed assessment of the thermochemistry in a side-wall quenching burner by simultaneous quantitative measurement of CO₂, CO and temperature using laser diagnostics, 2021, published in Combustion and Flame
  • Turbulent multi-regime methane-air flames analysed by Raman/Rayleigh spectroscopy and conditional velocity field measurements, 2021, published in Combustion and Flame

Frequently co-authoring with other researchers, Robert S. Barlow has collaborated extensively with Andreas Dreizler, Dirk Geyer, Robin Schultheis, Shuguo Shi, and S. Hartl.

The main journals and conference venues hosting their work include:

  • Combustion and Flame
  • Proceedings of the Combustion Institute
  • Applications in Energy and Combustion Science
  • Flow Turbulence and Combustion
  • Proceedings of the Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences

Barlow's research contributions largely focus on understanding the mechanisms and dynamics of combustion processes, often utilizing advanced diagnostic and computational techniques. Their multidisciplinary approach reflects the interconnection between engineering principles and applied combustion science within both atmospheric and practical energy contexts.
