Multi-channel gliding arc plasma-assisted ignition in a kerosene-fueled model scramjet engine

Development of mathematical model and numerical simulation of plasma ignition of flammable mixture with microwave subcritical streamer discharge

“…At the same time, at supersonic flow speeds, the traditional method of spark ignition stops working. One way to ignite the fuel mixture is to place spark plugs in a cavity in which the external flow velocity is significantly reduced [1]. However, such cavities create resistance to the external flow.…”
