Houpt Control of a Flame Holding Cavity in a Mach 2 Combustor by Quasi-Direct Current Electric Discharge 2021 .txt text/plain 383 12 40 Utilization of this plasma-generated shock wave as an active control technique in a supersonic combustor with a flame holding cavity is explored thoroughly in this work by examining the electrical parameters of the electric discharge, plasma parameters, plasma morphology, the resulting impact on the flow field, efficacy of the design/placement of the electrode array, and finally how the plasma influences combustion stability in a supersonic flame holding cavity. The Q-DC electric discharge generates a high power, filamentary plasma and is applied in Mach 2 airflows using the supersonic blowdown wind tunnel SBR-50 at the University of Notre Dame and Research Cell-19 at the Air Force Research Lab. cache/5999n299x0p.txt txt/5999n299x0p.txt
