In this context, we apply di#erent techniques to model the various com-

bustion phenomena in the combustion chamber. In particular, in a recent

study, we investigated the e#ect of nitric monoxide injection in a homoge-
neous charge compression ignition engine (see Figure 6). The result of this
study has also an impact on spark ignition engines where irregular phenom-
ena called superknock might be observed.
This research project currently focus on the ignition and propagation
of turbulent ames in direct injection spark ignition engine operated with
natural gas (see animation of Figure 7). It also focuses on reacting sprays
such as in diesel engines
