| Research Abstract |
In this year, we initially aimed at finishing the numerical simulation of a pulse jet flow, and at analyzing a pulse-plasma-jet assisted ignition phenomena by using a LIPF (Laser Induced Pre-dissociation Fluorescence) method. As a result, we have got the Shurilen pictures and a two-dimensional distribution of pre-dissociating OH molecules in the instant of the ignition assisted by a pulse-plasma jet in a 10*10*10cm^3 combustion container, in which methane and air are premixed.
These pictures explain the pulse-jet ignition processes as follows ; The flame originated inside the pulse-jet ignitor travels through an orifice toward a main combustor and is distinguished, and instead, the OH radicals distributed in the main chamber induce ignition like a fire work.
Although these ignition processeshave been theoretically predicted by other scientists, we have succeeded to catch the phenomena experimentally for the first time in the world.
