Based on that formulation, a spark ignition criterion for successful ignition of premixed flames is presented. This criterion is based on the competition of premixed turbulent flame propagation and global curvature effects. The turbulent flame brush thickness is employed as a measure for the evolution of the flame. The combustion model is validated against homogeneous charge engine experiments. The results show that initial flame propagation is well predicted, which indicates that the unsteady evolution of the premixed flame is well captured.
