Thermoacoustic instability is a flow instability that arises due to a two-way coupling between
acoustic waves and unsteady heat release rate. It can cause damaging, large-amplitude …

Abstract Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) are performed to investigate the process of
spontaneous ignition of hydrogen flames at laminar, turbulent, adiabatic and non-adiabatic …

Abstract Plasma Assisted Combustion (PAC) is a promising technology to enhance the
combustion of lean mixtures prone to instabilities and flame blow-off. Although many PAC …

This study demonstrates the stabilization of a sequential combustor with Nanosecond
Repetitively Pulsed Discharges (NRPD). Sequential combustors offer advantages such as …

This numerical study investigates the combustion modes in the second stage of a sequential
