… A system is quasineutral if its characteristic dimension is much larger than the Debye length,
λ D , which can be expressed as:(1) λ D = 69 ( T e / n e ) 1 / 2 (m) , where T e is the electron …

This review is intended to give an overview of recent results on plasma-assisted ignition and
combustion. The influence of electrical discharges on combustion processes is introduced, …

… The Abel transform turns the line-of-sight integrated image into a two-dimensional (2-D) cut
through … Lacoste was born in 1975. She received her undergraduate degree in mechanical …

A detailed experimental investigation of the mechanism of ultrafast heating and oxygen
dissociation produced by nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges in atmospheric pressure air …

… III D we discuss the coupled effect when both the gap distance and the ambient gas
temperature are varied. This permits us to choose the operating conditions to generate the NRP …

… D of a cylindrical plasma column of nanosecond gas discharges usually decreases with
pressure as D … Lacoste was born in France in 1975. She received the degree in mechanical …

Nanosecond repetitively pulsed (NRP) discharges were used to generate atmospheric
pressure plasmas in air or nitrogen preheated at 1000 K. In order to understand the physico-…

… in this section, we fixed the operating conditions Tg = 1000 K, d = 5 mm and υ = 2ms−1 …
figure 1 (d = 5 mm, R = 200 µm, Vp = 7.3kV), we find that the applied field at the anode tip (z = d/2…

… of outlet diameters d = 10, 7 or 4 mm corresponding to contraction ratios of σ = (D/d) 2 … For
larger oxygen-enrichment ratios, the burner is equipped with the nozzle of diameter d = 4 mm. …

In atmospheric-pressure air preheated to 1000 K, nanosecond repetitively pulsed (NRP)
discharges are shown to generate three plasma discharge regimes. In addition to the well-…
