Multiple ion-probes method has an advantage for detailed measurement on high-intensity combustion including engine combustion, oscillation combustion in gas turbine or burner. Multiple ion-probes are installed individually on the surface of the confinement wall in combustion chamber. Detailed behavior of the flame propagation along the chamber wall can be reproduced by the datasets of the flame arrival time detected by individual ion-probes. Main target of this study is to clarify the measurement performance of this multiple ion-probes method for various type of propagating flames generated in confined combustion tube. The characteristics of the flame is largely varied by changing the ratio of dilution with nitrogen on methane-oxygen stoichiometric mixture. No dilution, which means methane-oxygen stoichiometric mixture only, results fastest speed and relatively stable propagation.
