An experimental study of laser-induced spark ignition of flammable, gaseous premixtures is
reported, with theoretical interpretations. Ignition was in an explosion bomb, equipped with …

Hydrogen is a key pillar in the global Net Zero strategy. Rapid scaling up of hydrogen
production, transport, distribution and utilization is expected. This entails that hydrogen …

In this work, the concentration profiles of charged species in a flat, fuel-lean (Φ= 0.216), and
laminar methane–oxygen flame are calculated using a detailed transport model and an …

High-speed schlieren visualization and numerical simulations are used to study the fluid
mechanics following a spark discharge and the effect on the ignition process in a hydrogen …

This paper presents 3-D DNS and experimental schlieren results used to study a non-
equilibrium plasma discharge in a lean methane-air mixture. A detailed combustion …

This article presents a model to describe the effects of non-equilibrium plasma discharges
on gas temperature and species concentration, in the set of equations governing the …

The optimization of the ignition process is a crucial issue in the design of many combustion
systems. Large eddy simulation (LES) of a conical shaped bluff-body turbulent nonpremixed …

The mechanisms controlling the hydrodynamic effects induced by nanosecond pulsed
discharges applied between two pin electrodes in air at atmospheric conditions are …

The effects of pulse repetition frequency (PRF) and energy deposition was investigated
using nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges in a constant volume combustion …

This work presents an experimental investigation of the hydrodynamic effects induced by
nanosecond and conventional spark discharges. The energy deposited in sparks in the …
