Low Temperature Combustion (LTC) strategies are most promising to simultaneously reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and soot emissions from diesel engines along with offering higher thermal efficiency. Commercial wide spread implementation of diesel LTC strategies requires several challenges to be addressed, including lack of precise ignition timing control, widening the narrow operating load ranges and reducing high unburned fuel emissions. These challenges can be addressed through modifications in the engine or fuel design or both. The timing and rate of combustion in several LTC strategies are controlled primarily by the chemical kinetics of the fuel. Since, diesel fuel reactivity and volatility are tailor-made to perform well under conventional diesel combustion conditions, its application in LTC poses several problems, as highlighted in this paper. Hence, it is important to identify suitable alternative fuels for the different diesel LTC strategies. The published literature on LTC over the past 25 years is critically analyzed to discuss the evolution of the different diesel LTC strategies, their operability limits, the challenges and the controlling parameters for each strategy. This is followed by in-depth analysis of the role of the fuel and the fuel requirements for each strategy. Further, the importance of adopting a hybrid surrogate modeling approach to enable numerical simulation of diesel LTC is highlighted. A novel attempt of relating various diesel low temperature combustion (LTC) strategies based on the approach followed to achieve positive ignition dwell through different injection strategies, utilizing high exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and dual fuels is presented. The need for replacing diesel with alternative liquid fuels in LTC strategies is presented by highlighting the fundamental problems associated with diesel fuel characteristics. The review concludes by suggesting potential alternative fuels for various diesel LTC strategies and provides directions for future work to address the challenges facing compression ignition LTC operation.
