S. M. Reshetnikov’s research while affiliated with Vyatka State University and other places

... The energy transfer, in such conditions, can be achieved using electrohydrodynamic control based purely on an externally applied electrostatic field. This technique has shown potential in limiting aerodynamic drag [6] and controlling thrust [8] but has limited applications due to high voltages. The MHD control provides an alternative to contactless flow control and has shown its potential in thrust vectorization [9], power generation [10] and combustion control [11]. ...

... It can be assumed that the charge generation processes during the combustion of organo-inorganic compositions containing thermally unstable compounds principally refers to fa irly general phenomena that manifest themselves in combustion processes in the electromagnetic fields and the formation of crystals studied at different times [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. Thus, we found the presence of charges in systems including nitrates and low molecular weight organic compounds such as glycine and glycerine [40]. ...

... Chemical processing plants with their flammable and hazardous materials, pose a significant risk of fire and explosion. Implementing UAV standards in this environment is challenging, primarily due to the potential generation of electrostatic charges by UAVs, increasing the risk of fires and explosions (Reshetnikov et al., 2017). Batteries and electrical motors pose greater risks near flammable substances and combustible particles (Schneider et al., 2020). ...

... Wood is a renewable hydrocarbon fuel, and the prospects for its use have not been fully explored. One of the research areas is the high-enthalpy combustion study [8]. This kind of combustion realized in the combustion chamber of hybrid rocket engines [9], in conditions of fires spreading [10]. ...

Electrostatic field influence on wood combustion in high-enthalpy flow

... The the electrostatic field influence on the gas phase is caused by the ion wind appearance [4] and a change in the combustion temperature [5]. Due to the fact that an excessive amount of positively charged particles is observed in the PMMA flame with an oxidizer excess [6], during PMMA combustion in a high-enthalpy flow, the ion wind should bring the flame front closer to the material surface. This increases the heat flow into the condensed phase [7] and, as a result, increases the combustion rate. ...

... Due to the fact that an excessive amount of positively charged particles is observed in the PMMA flame with an oxidizer excess [6], during PMMA combustion in a high-enthalpy flow, the ion wind should bring the flame front closer to the material surface. This increases the heat flow into the condensed phase [7] and, as a result, increases the combustion rate. The dependence absence of the combustion rate on the electrodes polarity [8], the effect assessment of electric force on the combustion rate [9], do not allow to fully describe the detected changes only by the electrostatic field influence on the gas phase. ...
