Akihiro Hayakawa’s indexed work centers on ammonia combustion for power generation, with a particular focus on flame dynamics and emissions. His most-cited first-author study characterized the laminar burning velocity and Markstein length of ammonia/air premixed flames across a range of pressures, a foundational dataset for the field (812 citations). As last/senior author, he led an investigation into NH₃–air and NH₃–CH₄ combustion in gas-turbine power generation, demonstrating practical feasibility and emission profiles (561 citations). His first-author work on ammonia/air premixed flames in a swirl combustor further detailed stabilization and emission characteristics (373 citations), while a companion study elucidated NO formation and reduction mechanisms across equivalence ratios and pressures (266 citations). Beyond his lead-author contributions, Hayakawa contributed to the highly cited review “Science and technology of ammonia combustion” (2,422 citations), which helped define the research agenda for the field. He also co-authored experimental and numerical studies on laminar burning velocity of CH₄–NH₃–air flames (1,038 citations) and ammonia/hydrogen/air premixed flames at elevated pressures (520 citations), advancing understanding of fuel blending strategies. His body of work consistently connects fundamental flame chemistry to practical combustor design, bridging laboratory-scale measurements with the operational challenges of low-emission ammonia-fired turbines.
