Nonequilibrium plasma assisted combustion has drawn significant attention for its great potential to enhance combustion performance in pulsed detonation engines, gas turbines, scramjets, internal combustion engines, and other lean burn combustion systems. The physical and chemical kinetic processes in plasma assisted combustion involve strong coupling between combustion kinetics and the active radicals, excited species, ions/electrons, and other intermediate species produced specifically by the plasma. In recent years, extensive efforts have been made to develop new combustion techniques using non-equilibrium plasma, as well as new experimental platforms, advanced diagnostic methods, kinetic models, and quantitative experimental databases to understand the underlying interaction between the plasma and combustion mechanisms. This paper will provide a brief review of the recent progress in the studies of experimental phenomena, kinetic mechanisms, advanced diagnostic techniques, and modeling methods to quantify the elementary kinetic processes of plasma assisted combustion.
