Fundamental Mechanisms, Predictive Modeling, and Novel Aerospace Applications of Plasma Assisted Combustion

Abstract

Thrust 1. Experimental studies of nonequilibrium air-fuel plasma kinetics using advanced non-intrusive diagnostics * Task 2: Laminar Flow Reactor and Nanoparticle Studies at Low to Intermediate Temperatures (Radar REMPI and Filtered Rayleigh Scattering in flames) * Task 7: Fundamental studies on microwave enhanced combustion at atmospheric and higher pressures (Laser designated microwave driven ignition and microwave enhanced flame propagation) * Thrust 3. Experimental and modeling studies of fundamental nonequilibrium discharge processes * Task 10: Characterization and Modeling of Nsec Pulsed Plasma Discharges (Modeling and Radar REMPI of nonequilibrium states) * Task 11: Experimental and Modeling Study of Plasma properties using Radar REMPI (Radar REMPI measurement of electron loss mechanism and rates and local electron number density)
