Abstract
Results are shown of a study concerning the effect which “treating” a homogeneous fuel-air mixture with an electric field has on the velocity V of the flame travel through it. Data are presented pertaining to the flame front velocity V and the flame front shape as functions of the electric field intensity E, the field application time t, and the time intervalτ between field removal and subsequent ignition.
