White and Madden indicate that this year brought continued improvements in terms of physical understanding and novel innovations in the areas of plasma-assisted combustion, propulsion, flow control actuators, aerospace application of lasers and aero optics. Researchers at Ohio State University gained new insight into the kinetic mechanism of energy thermalization in nanosecond pulse discharges by using a combination of kinetic modeling and time-resolved, Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Spectroscopy. The Applied Physics Research Group at the University of Florida introduced a milliwatt-class needle actuator suitable for plasma channels, vortex generation and surface cooling. In plasma combustion, a collaboration between CU Aerospace of Illinois, and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign directly compared experimental measurements of plasma-assisted combustion of methane in microwave reactors with simulations.
