- the interior 5 is connected via at least one bore, here specifically via a riser channel 19 and side channels 21 with a main combustion chamber, not shown, in the state of the pre-chamber 1 mounted on the internal combustion engine 2.
- Fluctuations, in particular cyclical fluctuations in the operation of the internal combustion engine 2 is insensitive.
- the specific structure 11 is arranged in the first surface area 7, in which a main flow of the gas flow directly adjoins the surface 3. Local turbulences are formed and the local turbulence kinetic energy is increased. This leads to a local pressure drop along the structured surface region 7. This local pressure drop results in a force on the gas flow which leads to the application to the structured surface region 7.
- the particular structure 1 1 is selected so that this force is greater than forces which result from cyclically changing influencing variables, so that a cyclically insensitive flow pattern within the pre-chamber 1 is formed with respect to these influencing variables.

- FIGS. 2 a), 2 b) and 2 c) each show longitudinal sections through specific structures 1 1.
- the structural elements 23 are in particular hemispherical, and thus hemispherical.
- the structural elements 23 are likewise triangular or tooth-shaped, as seen in longitudinal section, but have a rounded tip 25 with a corner radius or radius of curvature.
- the corner radius or radius of curvature is preferably from at least 0.01 mm to at most 1 mm.
- a height H of the structural elements 23, which is shown here by way of example in FIG. 2 b), is generally, irrespective of the specific shape of the structural elements 23, preferably of at least 0.02 mm to at most 2 mm. The same applies preferably to a depth of structural elements that are not formed as elevations, but as depressions.
- a distance of adjacent structural elements 23 from each other, which is identified by way of example in Figure 2c) with A, is - again regardless of the specific form of
- Structural elements 23 - preferably from at least 0.02 mm to at most 1 mm, preferably from at least 0.04 mm to at most 1 mm.
- the shortest distance - regardless of the direction in which it extends - is considered in principle between directly adjacent structural elements 23.
- Figures 2d) to 2h) show views of certain structures 1 1 in plan view, thus in the same view, which is also the representation of Figure l a) is based.
- the structural elements 23 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2d) are of circular design.
- the structural elements 23, which are shown in FIGS. 2d) and e), can in particular be designed in longitudinal section as shown in FIG. 2a).
- FIG. 2f shows an exemplary embodiment of the specific structure 11, in which the structural elements 23-seen in plan view-have a rectangular shape, in particular a square shape. In particular, they may be designed as seen in longitudinal section, as shown in FIGS. 2 b) or 2 c).
- FIG. 2g shows an exemplary embodiment of the specific structure 11, in which the structural elements 23 have a teardrop shape.
- the structural elements 23 are preferably designed to be narrower, in particular at an upper end facing the ignition device 15, than at a lower, the ignition device 15 and a main combustion chamber (not shown)
- Figure 2h shows an embodiment of the particular structure 1 1, in which the
- Structural elements 23 are triangular in shape.
- the teardrop-shaped structural elements 23 according to FIG. 2g) can-as seen in longitudinal section-be designed as shown in FIG. 2a), but it is also possible that they are configured as shown in FIG. 2b) or 2c) ,
- Structural elements 23 according to FIG. 2h) are - as seen in longitudinal section - preferably designed as shown in one of the figures in FIG. 2b) or 2c).
- the structural elements 23 shown in FIG. 2b), which are seen in plan view, preferably have a diameter of at least 0.02 mm to at most 2 mm.
- the structural elements 23 preferably have a width of at least 0.02 mm to at most 2 mm measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L and horizontal in the image plane of FIG. 2.
- the width extends in particular perpendicular to a
- the structural elements 23 preferably have a length-seen along the longitudinal direction or along a projection of the longitudinal direction L onto the surface 3 -which is shown in FIG. 2 in the image plane in the vertical direction, which is from at least 0.04 mm to at most 4 mm.
- the length extends substantially in the direction of a main flow direction of the gas flow in the interior 5 during a compression stroke of the internal combustion engine 2.
- the drop-shaped structural elements 23 according to FIG. 2g) preferably have a corner radius or radius of curvature in the corners of at least 0.01 mm to at most 1 mm.
