Numerical investigation of forced ignition in laminar counterflow non-premixed methane-air flames
Simulations of forced ignition of non-premixed laminar counterflow flames are used to study the effect of strain rate on ignition success. A one dimensional calculation is performed, using detailed methane chemical kinetics and treating the spark as an ...

Fundamental studies of combustion of droplet and vapour mixtures [PDF]
There are few experimental data of a fundamental nature that clearly demonstrate the similarities and differences in burning rates between single phase and two phase combustion, either in laminar or turbulent conditions. Such data are essential towards a

Root‐Stimulated Movements in Mimosa Pudica for Biohybrid Robotic Systems
This study demonstrates that thermal and electrical stimulation of Mimosa pudica root induces movement of the petiole and pinnules without direct stimulation of the aerial organs, thereby enabling a plant‐based robotic gripper and providing a foundation for the development of intelligent and sustainable systems.
