SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:MIPSE Seminar | Understanding and Controlling the Interactions of Plasmas with Flames and Flowing Gases
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nElectrical discharges in aerospace applications occur in complex\, nonuniform environments featuring reactive and flowing gases. Understanding and controlling these plasmas requires a multiphysics approach and consideration of the coupling between plasma and its environment.  One example is use of pulsed nanosecond discharges in plasma-assisted combustion. To combat climate change\, reducing emissions of CO2 and NOₓ is critical. Pulsed nanosecond discharges have proven effective in stabilizing lean flames and mitigating combustion instabilities under lean conditions\, which help minimize thermal NOₓ formation. However\, the interplay between flame and plasma presents ongoing challenges. This presentation will explore experimental and theoretical investigations into these two-way coupled interactions for fundamental and industry-relevant flames. Another example involves discharges in non-reactive\, flowing gas environments\, such as lightning arcs attaching to aircraft in flight or wind turbine blades. During the damaging current flow phase\, an aircraft can travel ten times its length\, causing the arc to interact with the fluid boundary layer and reattach to new locations (the swept stroke phase). Understanding the interplay between flow physics and electrical breakdown is essential for developing lightning protection systems. We will review experiments and models to address these interactions.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nCarmen Guerra-Garcia is the Charles Stark Draper Assoc. Professor of Aero-nautics and Astronautics (A&A) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)\, where she leads the Aerospace Plasma Group at the intersection of aerospace engineering\, low temperature plasma technologies\, and gas discharge physics. She majored in Aeronautical Engr. at Polytechnic Univ. of Madrid (Spain) and obtained her SM and PhD in A&A from MIT. Prior to joining MIT\, Guerra-Garcia was with the Boeing Research and Technology Europe and a visiting researcher at Princeton Universi-ty. Guerra-Garcia has received NSF CAREER Award (2024)\, Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award (2021) Intl. Fulbright Science and Technology Award (2009)\, Junior Bose Award for Excellence in Teaching (2024) and Earll M. Murman Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Advising (2021). She is a member of the APS Gaseous Electronics Conference Exec. Committee and the AIAA Plasmady-namics and Lasers Technical Committee. Guerra-Garcia’s research spans from interaction of lightning with aircraft and wind turbines\, to plasma technologies for ignition\, combustion\, and chemical con-version.\n\nThe seminar will be conducted in person and simulcast via Zoom: https://mipse.umich.edu/seminars_2425.php#winter2025
