Combustion is an essential process for generating propulsion for most existing aircraft. The
combustion processes, such as ignition, flame propagation, and flame stability, are …

This paper reviews the current state of knowledge on the initiation of a flame in a spray
through the action of a spark or through local deposition of heat, and the subsequent flame …

In this work, a set of techniques is developed for the efficient temporal integration of
compressible turbulent reacting flows with stiff chemistry. The proposed approach combines …

Ignition is of importance in many combustion applications and raises fundamental and
practical issues. The light-round process corresponding to the flame spreading phase in the …

The primary hole exerts a substantial influence on the ignition performance of gas turbine
combustors. The current investigation delves into the effect of primary hole jets on the …

The ignition behaviour of a multiple-burner annular combustion chamber consisting of 12 or
18 bluff-body premixed methane-air swirl burners was investigated experimentally. The …

Ignition capability is a critical design constraint for aeronautical gas turbines. However the
current trend toward overall lean burn is detrimental to the engine ignition and relight and …

In this paper, the transient ignition process of an annular combustor with 16 centrally staged
swirling burners is experimentally investigated to study the mechanism of burner–burner …

The ignition behaviour of a laboratory-scale multiple-burner annular combustion chamber is
investigated experimentally in this paper. The work specifically focuses on the lightround …

This study investigates differences in flame dynamics during the ignition of a premixed
burner powered by lean CH 4/air and H 2/air mixtures with time-resolved OH-PLIF and PIV …
