NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) has been involved in a wide range of combustion research topics in combustor concept research, component technology development, and enabling technology development to provide enabling technologies for flight regimes from subsonic to hypersonic. These research efforts were carried out by NASA and industrial and academic partners through a range of NASA fundamental research and focused programs. These synergistic efforts in fuel injection, flame stabilization, combustion physics, and ignition studies have resulted in combustor concept changes that resulted in much cleaner-burning modern jet engines. New computational tools, optical diagnostics, fuels, and fuel conditioning technology are being currently used to develop a better understanding of the complex processes occurring in combustion systems for a range of future propulsion systems.
