Abstract: Increasingly stringent pollutant and CO2 emission standards require engine manufacturers to investigate innovative solutions. Among these techniques, low-temperature combustion (LTC) concepts have a large potential to simultaneously reduce NOx emissions and fuel consumption. A promising manner to realize LTC consists of adopting ultra-lean mixtures, where the combustion evolution is controlled by a proper spatial distribution of fuels with different chemical reactivities. In this context, depending on the proportion and stratification of the fuels, the heat release can primarily depend on chemistry progression, leading to a Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI) mode, or on flame propagation, locally initiated by a high reactivity fuel.
