The flame front of a premixed ethylene–air turbulent flame in a high-speed flowfield was imaged using hydroxyl radical (OH) planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF). An electrically heated continuous flow facility produced inflow conditions with a total temperature of 1200 K, corresponding to a flight Mach number of about five. A statistically stationary turbulent flame stabilized over a scaled-down cavity was used to generate experimental data for future comparisons with direct numerical simulations. A laser sheet with a wavelength of 283.55 nm was used to excite the (8) transition of OH. The sheet waist had a full width at half-maximum of . Two-dimensional OH-PLIF images were collected at high in-plane spatial resolution (approximately ) with a field of view of . The images spanned a region of along the spanwise centerplane. The local OH gradient was used to isolate the flame front in all images through an automated process. Each image was processed to obtain the appropriate statistics, time-averaged flame surface density, and flame front curvature values. The distribution of local flame front curvature values was approximately constant across the domain.
