Additional information
Neophytou's thesis, which formed the basis of this paper, has received both a Departmental prize and the Institute of Physics' Lefebvre Prize for the Best PhD thesis in combustion in the UK in the period 2009-2010. The theory described in this article has been implemented in a code called SPINTHIR that is currently being used by Rolls Royce (R Eggels; ID_in_audit_file@Rolls-Royce.com) to help design aeronautical gas turbines. The code provides information about the behaviour of a spark in the combustor and is the first ever predictive tool for a spark's success in realistic gas turbine combustors.
