Spark kernels and flame fronts in a premixed-charge, spark-ignition, ported engine were examined for the first time with two-dimensional spatial resolution. The most important conclusions are: (1) the flame fronts in this engine are in the reaction sheet regime; (2) the flame fronts become more convoluted and disrupted as the engine speed is increased and eventually become multiply connected in the plane of the laser sheet; (3) near the lean limit, the flame fronts become more distorted and the results strongly suggest that local extinction is taking place; (4) the turbulent flow field affects all the ignition kernels examined, which included kernels as small as 2 mm and times after ignition as short as 100 microseconds; (5) the distortion and cycle-to-cycle variation in the ignition kernel increase with engine speed; (6) the estimated increase in surface area of the flame sheet scales almost linearly with engine speed between 1200 and 2400 rpm but only a two-fold increase in the surface area of the flame sheet was observed between 300 and 1200 rpm. This agrees well with corresponding variations in combustion duration; (7) the results lend strong support to the theory that in the reaction sheet regime the increase of themore » turbulent flame speed over the laminar flame speed is caused primarily by an increase in the surface area of the flame sheet; (8) the thickness of the turbulent flame zone was found to increase somewhat with both mass fraction burnt and engine speed.« less
