Abstract

It is demonstrated that numerical simulations of ignition by electric discharge in air and n-butane mixtures have interesting peculiarities which deviate from results obtaining by simple extension of calculations based on methane-like fuels. In particular it is shown that increasing temperature of the mixture before ignition under certain conditions will actually increase the ignition stage time as well as required electric field.
