Abstract
The effect of constant and pulsed periodic electric fields on combustion of a propane-air mixture is studied experimentally. The experiments are performed for the laminar and turbulent combustion modes with flame stabilization by a separation region behind a central body. The constant and pulsed-periodic electric fields are found to exert different effects on the burning rate.
