The design and optimization of modern propulsion and power generation systems depend on our detailed knowledge of high-temperature flame dynamics. Using a new technique developed to study flame propagation behind reflected shock waves, the Ferris group studies the flame behavior of emerging sustainable fuels at previously unexplored high temperatures.
