An Investigation of Controlled Oscillations in a Plasma Torch for Combustion Enhancement

The oscillating plasma torch is proposed as a potential device that will produce an oscillating shock and resulting control of the supersonic combustion process. This research will capitalize on previous results [Gallimore, 1998] which indicate that the plasma torch oscillations originate from the...
