[The] leakage flux of a magnetic circuit [is] that part of the flux which does not flow in the main(intended) path. For example the leakage flux in a transformer is that which does not link with the secondary winding and does not therefore contribute to the secondary voltage. 2, record 1, English, - leakage%20flux

La perméabilité relative du circuit magnétique n'a pas une valeur infinie par rapport à celle de l'air. Il en découle que tout le flux produit par la source n'est pas entièrement canalisé dans le circuit magnétique. Une partie du flux nommée flux de fuite passe dans l'air ambiant, empruntant des trajets plus ou moins raccourcis. 2, record 1, French, - flux%20de%20fuite

Dans la modélisation de la combustion turbulente se déroulant dans les moteurs à injection directe, il faut considérer d'une part les flammes partiellement prémélangées dans les moteurs essence et d'autre part les flammes de diffusion dans les moteurs Diesel. De plus, la spécificité des moteurs alternatifs nécessite la description des modes de démarrage et de propagation de la flamme dans les chambres de combustion. Il s'agit de l'allumage par étincelle pour le moteur essence et de l'auto-inflammation pour le moteur Diesel. 2, record 4, French, - allumage%20direct%20par%20%C3%A9tincelle
