Ignition of stoichiometric hydrocarbon : air mixtures by a nanosecond surface dielectric barrier discharge has been experimentally studied at room temperature and atmospheric and subatmospheric pressures. Observations were made for different voltage polarities and shapes of the high-voltage electrode. The ignition delay time and the velocity of the combustion wave were measured in a C2H2 : air mixture versus applied voltage by processing discharge gap images. It was concluded that the mixtures are ignited easier by the discharge for a negative voltage polarity and when it develops from a gear-like electrode. A 2D simulation of the discharge was performed to calculate the temporal and spatial distributions of generated active species and gas temperature during the discharge and in its afterglow for both electrode polarities. It was shown that the voltage threshold for ignition by a negative-polarity discharge is lower than that for a positive-polarity discharge, in qualitative agreement with observations. This is due to the formation of a region with efficient active species production and fast gas heating in the immediate vicinity of the high-voltage electrode when a voltage of negative polarity is applied to it.
