Annotation

The results of experimental studies on the influence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field on the nature of the ignition and combustion of an air–propane mixture in a supersonic flow that is initiated by a longitudinal–transverse dc discharge are presented. It is shown that the nature of a mixturecombustion regime strongly depends on the orientation of the magnetic field with respect to both the direction of the discharge current and the flowvelocity vector.
