Investigation on the Influence of Environmental Pressure on the Gliding Arc Discharge Plasma Actuator Combustion Characteristics
The application of plasma assisted combustion technology in aero engines can effectively reduce the acti-vation energy required for chemical reactions during combustion and improve combustion efficiency. In order to trulyapply this technology to the combustion chamber of aero-engine
an experimental system for the discharge character-istics of the three-dimensional rotary gliding arc discharge plasma assisted combustion exciter is established in thispaper. The combination of experimental and theoretical analysis is used to explore the influence of ambient pressureon the characteristics of three-dimensional rotary sliding arc discharge plasma assisted combustion exciter. The re-sults show that there is a transition mode(B-GII)between the Breakdown Gliding mode(B-GI)and the steady arcgliding mode(A-G)
which has two characteristics. The environmental pressure has a significant influence on thearc sliding mode. When the pressure is less than 1 ba(r1 bar=0.1 MPa)
the arc sliding mode continuously developsfrom the B-GI mode to the A-G mode as the air pressure rises. At the same time
with the increase of environmentalpressure
the arc breakdown voltage and the peak-to-peak voltage also increase. However
due to the arc slidingmode conversion in the discharge process
the breakdown voltage will decrease slightly in the range of 0.5~0.7 bar.
