Progress in combustion science and engineering has led to the generation of large amounts
of data from large-scale simulations, high-resolution experiments, and sensors. This corpus …

The understanding and prediction of the early development of flame kernels are of high
practical importance for the robust relight of aviation gas turbines and the control of cycle-to …

Abstract Large-Eddy Simulations with the Conditional Moment Closure sub-grid combustion
model and detailed chemistry for kerosene were performed for the ignition process in an …

A novel ignition strategy using multi-channel sparks was developed in this paper. Compared
with the typical single spark, the three-channel spark ignition technique enables three …

Fast and reliable high altitude re-ignition is a critical requirement for the development of
alternative jet fuels (AJFs). To achieve stable combustion, a spark kernel needs to transit in a …

When investigating stochastic ignition phenomena, high-fidelity simulations and
experiments for statistical characterization can be a laborious endeavor. Machine learning …

Three reacting jet-in-crossflow (JiC) methane/air flames were numerically investigated in a
lean axially staged combustor at a pressure of five atmospheres. A detailed chemistry Star …

Infrasound observations are increasingly used to constrain properties of volcanic eruptions.
In order to better interpret infrasound observations, however, there is a need to better …

The spark discharge of an aircraft plasma jet igniter is studied using high-fidelity numerical
simulations and X-ray radiography measurements. The target problem here features the …

For safety purposes, reliable reignition of aircraft engines in the event of flame blow-out is a
critical requirement. Typically, an external ignition source in the form of a spark is used to …
