Schematic of the kernel expansion process following localized ignition. U1: the fuel-carrying fluid; U2: the oxygen-carrying fluid; 1: kernel immediately following ignition; 2: small turbulent stratified-charge premixed flame; 3A: turbulent stratified-charge premixed flame, 3B: edge flame, low mixture fraction gradient; 3C: edge flame, high mixture fraction gradient [26, 27].
