A swirling flow and rich fuel concentration near the center were produced in a vessel by tangentially charging air and fuel injection. Propane was used as fuel. Fuel concentration distribution was measured with laser induced fluorescence (LIF) method using acetone as a tracer. It was confirmed that the center-rich stratified fuel concentration was produced. In order to estimate the pattern of the fuel concentration field, the Gaussian fitting method was applied to the equivalence ratio profile. Fuel distribution history obtained from LIF measurement agreed with the calculation result using axisymmetric diffusion equation. The initial stage of combustion was greatly affected by the fuel concentration distribution in the vicinity of the spark location. The stronger turbulence intensity accelerated combustion and main combustion became shorter under the same fuel distribution conditions.
