The plasma-assisted ignition and flameholding based on surface DC discharge is a known and undemanding method for organizing combustion in a supersonic flow [1-2]. It can be used for ignition of gaseous hydrocarbon fuel at wide range of flow conditions without employing mechanical flameholders in a supersonic combustion chamber. And one of the next steps at the study and development of such discharge systems is reducing the power consumption that makes this technology more suitable for use in a real supersonic combustion chamber. This experimental and computational work presents a plasma system, which should reducing the total energy consumption and extending the life cycle of the electrode system.
