Abstract: This review mainly concerns the use of bioethanol in advanced compression ignition (CI) engines. Various advanced CI engines are in existence, and this review discusses, homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion, partially premixed combustion (PPC) and gasoline compression ignition (GCI) combustion for discussion. Four different experimental configurations were adopted to measure the autoignition or ignition delay time for ethanol in HCCI combustion mode. The mixture formation strategies in bioethanol HCCI combustion can be categorized into three groups: external, internal and combined mixture preparations. The external mixture preparation is subdivided into port fuel injection and a vaporizer, and the internal mixture preparation into early, late and multiple direct injections. A numerical simulation for ethanol HCCI combustion was recently carried out with a direct numerical simulation and large eddy simulation. The different reduced chemical kinetic mechanisms for ethanol oxidation models present in the literature are summarized in detail. Detailed mechanisms including 57 species and 383 reactions were employed in numerical simulations of ethanol HCCI combustion.
