A review of fundamental research in combustion stabilization for hypersonic airbreathing
propulsion is presented. Combustion in high-speed airbreathing propulsion systems …

It has been predicted that several changes will occur when premixed flames are subjected to
the extreme levels of turbulence that can be found in practical combustors. This paper is a …

An experimental study was conducted to compare laser ignition (LI) and spark discharge
ignition (SDI) in an ethylene fueled supersonic combustor operating at a global equivalence …

Ignition of an ethylene-fueled cavity in Mach-2 flow was performed using nanosecond-
pulsed high-frequency discharges (NPHFDs) over a range of pulse repetition frequencies …

Abstract Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) has the potential to allow direct,
standoff measurement of contaminants on nuclear plant. Here, LIBS is evaluated as an …

The structure of a burner is a key issue of boilers and gasifiers in several industries. It
significantly influences the flame formation and combustion reaction determining the mixing …

Cavity ignition was investigated in a rocket-based combined cycle combustor. The Mach
number, total pressure, and total temperature of the inflow were 2.92, 2.60 MPa, and 1650 K …

This manuscript reviews published works related to plasma assistance in supersonic
combustion; focusing on mixing enhancement, ignition and flameholding. A special attention …

The dynamics of using a pulse detonation wave to ignite a supersonic cavity flameholder
was investigated. Fueling conditions ranging from lean to rich were investigated …

A new direct-connect supersonic combustor has been designed and tested for the study of
plasma-assisted combustion in the ACT-II supersonic combustion tunnel. Laser-induced …
