[en] Accurate descriptions of Rayleigh–Brillouin scattering (RBS) spectra for gas-phase species are important in light scattering measurement techniques including filtered Rayleigh scattering (FRS). The current manuscript targets evaluation of the well-known Tenti S6 model for calculating the RBS spectra for combustion-relevant species over a broad range of temperatures with relevance towards FRS applications in reacting flows. In this work, testing of the Tenti S6 model was performed by comparing measured FRS signals to synthetic FRS signals generated through the combination of the Tenti S6 model and an experimentally verified I₂ absorption model. First, temperature-dependent FRS signals were measured for a number of individual gases including Ar, N₂, O₂, CH₄, H₂, CO, and CO₂ from 300 to 1400 K. Comparisons between the measurements and synthetic FRS signals show excellent agreement (< 4% average difference) over the full temperature range. For pure CO₂, rotational Raman scattering effects must be taken into account when comparing measured and synthetic FRS signals. FRS measurements in binary mixtures were performed to assess the commonly used (but not verified) assumption that the total FRS signal from a mixture can be treated as the mole fraction-weighted average of the FRS signals from each component. Measured FRS signals in mixtures with large variations in both molecular weight and Rayleigh scattering cross section show a linear relationship with constituent mole fraction, indicating that this assumption is valid within the kinetic regime. Finally, FRS measurements were performed in near-adiabatic H₂/air and CH₄/air flames. Comparisons between measured and synthetic FRS signals show excellent agreement over a broad range of equivalence ratios ($\mathrm{\varphi <!--\; ??\; -->}$), which includes a temperature range of 1100 < T(K) < 2400 and large relative changes in species mole fractions. Overall, the results indicate that the predicted RBS lineshapes calculated using the Tenti S6 model are sufficiently accurate in the context of FRS measurements for the species and temperatures evaluated.
