Calculating laminar flame speed using chemkin

  Hi everyone,
  I am trying to calculate the laminar flame speed for a SI engine using Chemkin Pro (version 2022 V2). I'm a SI engine closed reactor (this can be simulated as the one I have in my lab), but I can not find the variable (the laminar flame speed) in my results. I'm aware that there is a flame speed calculator, but I don't want to use a freely propagating flame. The spark ignition part is really important for my further study.
  
  Thanks in advance

  Hi Paul:
  Only the flamespeed calculators will offer flame speed as a variable. There are several types of flames. The premixed laminar flame speed library or calculator are the most appropriate, depending on whether you need a range of flamespeeds for different mixture fractions, or a single value for a premixed calculation.
  
  Best Regards,
  Judy
