Superfast Homogeneous Plasma Ignition of Hydrogen-Oxygen and Air-Fuel Supersonic Flows by High-Voltage Ionization Wave

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking Moscow Inst. of Physics and Technology as follows: 1) The contractor will perform experiments on ignition initiation by ionization wave in the H2-O2 mixture. Determine the ignition threshold shift. Study the combustion uniformity and synchronization in the system. 2) He will determine the active particle formation rate in ionization wave with the nanosecond time resolution. Measure electric field of ionization wave in hydrogen. Develop a numerical model determining the active particles generation in the fast ionization wave. Verify the numerical model with the use of experimental data.
