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

Achieving efficient fuel-air mixing is a crucial problem for the design of scramjet engines.
Due to the very short residence time of the fuel within the scramjet combustor for typical flight …

A hypersonic inlet/isolator acts as the “compressor” for scramjet engines through a series of
shocks, which induces complex internal flows. This paper comprehensively reviews the …

The main focus of the review is on dynamics and kinetics of near-surface discharge
plasmas, such as surface dielectric barrier discharges sustained by AC and repetitively …

Abstract A Quasi-DC (Q-DC) electrical discharge generates a highly transient filamentary
plasma in high-speed airflow. Major specific properties of this type of discharge are realized …

This work focuses on detailed descriptions of DC discharge properties in supersonic airflow
and its applicability in combustion simulations. Due to the complexity of obtaining most of the …

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

To suppress the high frequency combustion instability of rocket engines, quasi-direct current
(quasi-DC) discharge plasma is considered in combination with special arrangements in a …

This study examined the ignition and flameholding effects of the quasi-direct-current
discharge on a directly injected hydrocarbon fuel (ethylene) in a supersonic combustion …

Plasma-assisted combustion approach is well known for organizing stable ignition and
flame holding in supersonic flows in model scramjet combustion chambers. In this work, a …
