Blaise Pascal, Avenue Jean Capelle, Villeurbanne 69621, France ABSTRACT This study provides a non classical way to quantify turbulent scales inside an internal combustion engine, by measuring the size of turbulent structures with a Schlieren optical method, and essentially with theoretical tools from the domain of signal processing. Within the last thirty years, a great deal of works has been oriented toward measurements of integral length scales with either the hot-wire anemometry method or with the Laser Doppler Velocimetry (L.D.V.) method. The drawback of the L.D.V. method comes from the choice of an associated empirical cut-off frequency to filter signals of turbulence from those of all fluctuations. The step suggested here is based on an analysis by means of a time-frequency distribution; original approach making it possible to estimate the size of turbulent structures. INTRODUCTION Measurements of integral length scales (I.L.S.) have been performed by many researchers with either the hot-wire anemometry method or with the Laser Doppler Velocimetry (L.D.
