Spark Discharge–Facilitated LIBS Coupled with Electrodeposition for Highly Sensitive Detection of Chromium Within Aqueous Matrices

open access: yesPhotonics
In this study, electrodeposition (ED) combined with a spark discharge-facilitated laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy—referred to as SD-LIBS—was employed for highly sensitive detection of trace chromium (Cr) in aqueous solutions. First, trace Cr ions in

Combustion Regimes in Turbulent Non-Premixed Flames for Space Propulsion

open access: yesAerospace, 2023
Direct numerical simulations of non-premixed fuel-rich methane–oxygen flames at 20 bar are conducted to investigate the turbulent mixing burning of gaseous propellants in rocket engines. The reacting flow is simulated by using an EBI-DNS solver within an
