  • Abstract
    The mathematical model of a repetitive nanosecond pulse discharge at atmospheric-pressure conditions has been presented. The influence of initial gas temperature, chemical kinetics, and vibrational nonequilibrium on the ignition of methane-air and ethylene-air mixtures has been analyzed.
