Combustion is an essential process for generating propulsion for most existing aircraft. The
combustion processes, such as ignition, flame propagation, and flame stability, are …

This paper reviews the current state of knowledge on the initiation of a flame in a spray
through the action of a spark or through local deposition of heat, and the subsequent flame …

Renewed interest in the use of high-speed ramjets and scramjets and more efficient lean
burning engines has led to many subsequent developments in the field of laser ignition for …

In this paper the combustion and ignition process in the hydrogen-fueled peripheral-ported
rotary engine with single and dual laser ignition systems was studied numerically. The …

The ignition transient is investigated in this article in a laboratory-scale multiple injector
configuration. The analysis specifically focuses on the “light-around” mechanisms that …

Centrally staged lean premixed pre-evaporation combustion technology has been used in
aero engines for its capability in effectively reducing NOx emissions while still providing …

Ignition is of importance in many combustion applications and raises fundamental and
practical issues. The light-round process corresponding to the flame spreading phase in the …

A detailed study of ignition mechanisms in aeronautical burners is presented. Even in global
lean conditions, liquid fuel injection leads to a strong stratification of the mixture and the …

An experimental and numerical study of an academic n-heptane/air lab-scale jet spray
burner is presented. The objective is to provide new insight on turbulent spray flame …

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 …
