When ignition occurs the nucleus of the flame spreads with the whirling or rotating vortices in the form of ragged burning crust from the initial spark plug ignition site.

Combustion and Combustion Chambers topics include: Combustion, abnormal combustion, combustion in SI and CI engine, knocking in SI engine and delay period.

A combustion chamber is a space within an engine where fuel is mixed with oxygen and ignited. The energy released from the combustion is captured and harnessed. 

The combustion chamber is also known as a burner or combustor. The resulting high-temperature exhaust gas is used to turn the power turbine, which produces mechanical work to move the compressor. 

The combustion chamber can be divided into five major components:
The injector assembly
The grain compartment
The aft mixing chamber
The nozzle
The thrust vector control 

There are three main types of combustion chamber used for gas turbine engines:
The multiple chamber
The tubo-annular chamber
The annular chamber
