Research Interests

My current research is about the electric effects on the flame applied high voltage to the specific device such as nozzle. 
Recent studies showed that the ionic wind blows from a flame to both an anode and a cathode, and applied electric fields have significant effects to a flame due to ionic wind. In order to further understand the previous observation, edge-flame propagation speed, flame curvature, and local field intensity will be delivered both experimental and numerical method.
