Abstract: A tomographic deconvolution technique using the Fourier
transformation has been applied for the reconstruction of asymmetric soot
structure. Local soot volume fraction distribution can be identified from
line-of-sight integrated data using light extinction measurements with
multi-angular scanning. A peak-following interpolation technique was adopted to
effectively increase the number of scanning angles. The results showed that the
peak-following interpolation has improved the accuracy of reconstruction
compared to the arithmetic interpolation in determining the local soot volume
fraction. The measurement from a laser-induced incandescence technique
substantiated the validity of the reconstruction technique.
