The minimal speeds (c) of the KolmogorovPetrovskyPiskunov (KPP) fronts at small diffusion ( 1) in a class of time-periodic cellular flows with chaotic streamlines is investigated in this paper. The variational principle of c reduces the computation to that of a principle eigenvalue problem on a periodic domain of a linear advectiondiffusion operator with spacetime periodic coefficients and small diffusion. To solve the advection dominated time-dependent eigenvalue problem efficiently over large time, a combination of spectral methods and finite element, as well as the associated fast solvers, are utilized to accelerate computation. In contrast to the scaling c= O ( 1/4) in steady cellular flows, a new relation c= O (1) as 1 is revealed in the time-periodic cellular flows due to the presence of chaotic streamlines. Residual propagation speed emerges from the Lagrangian chaos which is quantified as a sub
