Abstract
This Letter targets the assessment of the well-known Tenti S6 model for predicting the Rayleigh–Brillouin scattering (RBS) spectra of select gas–phase hydrocarbon fuels (${{\rm CH}_4}$, ${{\rm C}_2}{{\rm H}_2}$, ${{\rm C}_2}{{\rm H}_4}$, ${{\rm C}_3}{{\rm H}_8}$, and ${{\rm C}_4}{{\rm H}_{10}}$) over a temperature range of 300 to 700 K. The Tenti S6 model is evaluated by comparing filtered Rayleigh scattering (FRS) measurements to synthetic FRS signals generated from the combination of the Tenti S6 output and an accurate iodine absorption filter model. The experimental and synthetic FRS results agree very well (${\lt}{3}\%$ difference) over the full temperature range for ${{\rm CH}_4}$, ${{\rm C}_2}{{\rm H}_2}$, and ${{\rm C}_2}{{\rm H}_4}$, indicating accurate calculation of the RBS spectra. For ${{\rm C}_3}{{\rm H}_8}$ and ${{\rm C}_4}{{\rm H}_{10}}$, there are some large differences between the experimental and synthetic FRS results which cannot be resolved through tuning of bulk viscosity, internal heat capacity, or inclusion of vibrational degrees of freedom, suggesting the need for detailed measurements of the Rayleigh–Brillouin spectra.
