title = "Plasma control of ignition of hydrogen-air and methaneair mixtures",
abstract = "In this work we present further experimental and numerical investigations of hydrogen-air and methane-air mixtures ignition by nanosecond gas discharge. This type of gas discharge as a source of active particles has a number of advantages: short time of discharge development, good reproducibility of the discharge parameters, spatial homogeneity over a large gas volume. Significant decrease of ignition threshold in a case of discharge action has been observed. Numerical modelling of active species production and chemical kinetics in the afterglow has been carried out for both high-pressure methane-air ignition without discharge and for discharge ignition.",
