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

Non-equilibrium plasma discharges can create a favorable environment for combustion
processes, at low energy cost.“How favorable?” and “How low?” are two open questions that …

This paper considers the modes of plasma-stabilized supersonic combustion in a cavity-
based flameholding configuration. The testing was performed in the SBR-50 supersonic …

A gliding arc discharge was employed to ignite an ethylene-fueled scramjet combustor with
an inflow speed of Ma= 2.92. Flame chemiluminescence and Schlieren photography were …

The supersonic wind tunnel facility SBR-50 at the University of Notre Dame was built in 2015
for experimental research related to shock wave (SW) interactions with obstacles and …

This comprehensive review paper offers a multifaceted examination of non-thermal plasma
applications in addressing the complex challenge of tar removal within biomass-oriented …

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 …

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 …

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 …

A stabler ignition and combustion of the premixed air/fuel mixture remains a topic of great
