An Optical Method to Characterize Streamer Variability and Streamer-to-Flame Transition for Radio-Frequency Corona Discharges

In recent years, radio-frequency corona ignition gained increasing interest from the engine research community because of its capability to extend the engine stable operating range in terms of lean and EGR dilution. The corona discharge generates streamers coming from a star-shaped electrode, genera...
