Syngas is an intermediate step towards the transition from carbon-based to hydrogen-based
fuels, promoted by the emerging concerns about climate change and damages to the …

The use of a thermal equilibrium plasma for combustion control dates back more than a
hundred years to the advent of internal combustion (IC) engines and spark ignition systems …

The interaction of a plane shock wave in air with concave profiles has been used in the past
to understand the nature of shock wave focusing. The current study examines the complex …

The development of accurate chemical kinetic models capable of predicting the combustion
of methane and dimethyl ether in common combustion environments such as compression …

Rapid compression machines (RCMs) are widely used to acquire experimental insights into
fuel autoignition and pollutant formation chemistry, especially at conditions relevant to …

A detailed insight of key reactive events related to oxidation and pyrolysis of hydrocarbon
fuels further enhances our understanding of combustion chemistry. Though comprehensive …

To investigate the initial chemical events associated with high-temperature gas-phase
oxidation of hydrocarbons, we have expanded the ReaxFF reactive force field training set to …

This review covers the results obtained in the period 2006–2014 in the field of plasma-
assisted combustion, and in particular the results on ignition and combustion triggered or …

Measurements on laminar flame speeds and ignition delay times of methane/air mixtures at
elevated pressures and temperatures were carried out in a constant volume bomb and …

Methane oxidation at high pressures and intermediate temperatures was investigated in a
laminar flow reactor and in a rapid compression machine (RCM). The flow-reactor …
