- An investigation of the relationship between fluctuations in the flow field in the region of the spark plug and the efficiency of subsequent combustion has been carried out in a lean-burning engine. The experiment involved the application of conditional sampling techniques to laser-Doppler anemometry measurements.Strong correlations were measured between mean velocity in the vicinity of the spark plug immediately preceding ignition and the peak pressure achieved; however, a much weaker dependence on turbulence intensity variations was observed.
