Transfer-port and in-cylinder flow fields have been mapped in a crankcase-compression, loop-scavenged two-stroke engine under motored conditions (1600 r/min; delivery ratio: 0.5). The impulsive, high-velocity flow (initially ≳2200 m/s) issuing from the transfer ports is fairly uniform and symmetric in space. ...Detailed LDV measurements of the port-efflux velocity field in a two-port, loop-scavenged model engine have recently been carried out under both steady flow [21] and motored (blown, 200 r/min) conditions [22] at The Queen's University of Belfast; little in-cylinder velocity data have been presented, however [21].
