The liner temperature distribution of an aero-engine combustor is a critical parameter for evaluating its cooling effectiveness. It provides essential guidance for designing the combustor cooling flow field, assessing combustion performance, identifying critical regions, and predicting service life. However, current research on surface temperature field measurements in real or model aero-engine combustors remains limited. Existing studies focus primarily on the liner temperature measurement under near-steady-state conditions, with less attention to its dynamic changes. This study employs Laser-Induced Phosphorescence (LIP) thermometry to measure the effusion-cooled liner temperature field of an aero-engine model combustor under various CH4/Air swirling premixed flame conditions and varying blowing ratios. Based on the geometric characteristics of the effusion-cooled liner, an optimization method for matching phosphorescence images of different wavelengths is proposed. This enhances the applicability of phosphorescence intensity ratio-based LIP thermometry in high-vibration environments. The study specifically focuses on the dynamic response of LIP thermometry for monitoring combustor liner temperature. The instantaneous effects of blowing ratio variations on liner temperature rise rates were investigated. Additionally, the influence mechanisms of a broad range of combustion conditions and the blowing ratios on the combustor liner temperature distribution and cooling effectiveness were examined. These findings provide theoretical and technical support for cooling design and dynamic liner temperature field measurement in real aero-engine combustors.
