Annular Electric Discharge as an Initiator of Combustion in Supersonic Flow
Abstract
This report results from a contract tasking A. M. Prokhorov General Physics Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences as follows: The main object of this Project is investigation of combustion processes in a gas mixtures flows under the action of axially symmetric gas discharge localized on the periphery of gas stream. Complexity and peculiarity of this discharge action on a flammable gases flow consists in excitation on a periphery combustion wave with concurrent generation of convergent to the axis cumulative shock wave transforming near the axis into a detonation one. Of interest is research of gas stream volumetric ignition at the sacrifice of action on it periphery plasma and focusing in a near-axis region shock wave. Experiments in the moving gas and gas in the quiescent state as well as development of mathematical model of investigating phenomenon are planning.
