Abstract
Injection of the fuel by the injectorcreates a gas flow in the combustion chamber. The gas expands in a radial fashion from an axis of a cylinder toward a radial outside of the cylinder, and then flows from the radial outside along the cylinder head bottom facetoward the axis of the cylinder. The spark plughas a gap positioned away from the axis of the cylinder toward the radial outside of the cylinder at a predetermined distance, and placed radially inwardly from a position opposite a rim of an opening of the cavityA side electrode extends to be oriented in a direction perpendicular to the flow of the gas along the cylinder head bottom face. The gap has a center positioned near the cylinder head bottom face, and closer to an interior of a combustion chamber than to the cylinder head bottom face.
