[pt] Neste trabalho, foi desenvolvida uma modificação do modelo para simulação de sprays Diesel com o método de PDF presumida e cinética química tabulada. Através do acoplamento entre a parte química e a parte turbulenta, avaliou-se os efeitos do spray com a metodologia flamelet. Onde o conceito flamelet trata a chama difusiva e transiente como um conjunto de chamas unidimensionais, utilizando o modelo de PDF presumida para a avaliação dos valores turbulentos. A validação do modelo foi realizada com dados experimentais do laboratório Sandia, em uma câmara a volume constante. A validação e a aplicação do modelo foram conduzidas em diferentes tipos de ensaios experimentais: avaliação e comparação para diferentes modelos de cinética química do n-heptano, validação do método para o modelo de turbulência K-epsilon na câmara de volume constante do Sandia para o n-heptano não reativo, validação e comparação do modelo para o spray reativo e aplicação de modelo para o estudo comprimento do ancoramento de chama e para o tempo de atraso de ignição do n-heptano para diferentes temperaturas ambientes. Em geral, a modelagem proposta tem demonstrado excelente capacidade de previsão para a combustão com spray Diesel numa vasta gama de aplicações e é um candidato altamente promissor para outras aplicações em motores Diesel. / [en] In this work, a modification of the model for the simulation of diesel sprays with the presumed PDF method and tabulated chemical kinetics was developed. Through the coupling between the chemical part and the turbulent part, the effects of the spray were evaluated for the flamelet methodology. Where the textit flamelet concept treats the diffusive and transient flame as a set of one-dimensional flames, using the presumed PDF model for the evaluation of turbulent values. The validation of the model was performed with experimental data from the Sandia laboratory, in a chamber at constant volume. The validation and application of the model were conducted in different types of experimental trials: evaluation and comparison for different chemical kinetics models of n-heptane, validation of the method for the turbulence model K-epsilon in the constant volume chamber of the Sandia for non-reactive n-heptane, validation and comparison of the model for the reactive spray and model application for the study of the flame anchoring length and for the ignition delay time of n-heptane at different ambient temperatures. In general, the proposed modeling has demonstrated excellent predictive capacity for diesel spray combustion in a wide range of applications and is a highly promising candidate for other applications in diesel engines.

Les moteurs diesel sont largement utilisés pour la propulsion automobile, grâce à leur rendement élevé. Les émissions polluantes les plus importantes des moteurs diesel sont les NOx et les particules (en combustion Dieselconventionnelle). Il est difficile de réduire et contrôler ces émissions parce que la diminution d’un polluant entraine l’augmentation de l’autre. Une voie est la combustion Diesel LTC (Combustion à basse température) qui peut réduireces deux polluants, mais d’autres polluants apparaissent alors, comme CO et HC. Une façon d’arriver à desconditions LTC est l’utilisation de l’injection multiple (pilote/main, split injection, etc.). La caractérisation de cesinjections multiples est particulièrement complexe, en raison des interactions entre les différentes injections.Cette thèse a pour but de réaliser un modèle 1D de spray qui peut simuler l’injection multiple et la combustioncorrespondante dans un moteur diesel de type automobile, suite à la thèse de G. Ma soutenue au LHEEA en 2013,qui a développé un modèle de combustion basé sur le modèle de spray 1D eulérien de Musculus et Kattke (sprayinerte). Une comparaison de ce modèle avec un modèle lagrangien (Hiroyasu, Poetsch), qui a un traitement pseudo2D pour le spray de carburant, est menée pour évaluer les différences entre les approches et déterminer l’approche lamieux adaptée aux cas envisagés.L’interaction du spray avec une paroi, essentielle pour modéliser les conditions dans un moteur automobile faitégalement l’objet d’une étude bibliographique et de premières tentatives de modélisation. Une modélisation pseudo-2D pour le modèle Eulérien est faite pour améliorer le calcul du dégagement de chaleur et de délai d’inflammation. Lavalidation de ces différentes évolutions est faite en confrontant les résultats du modèle avec des résultatsexpérimentaux obtenus sur la base de données de l’ECN (Engine Combustion Network), mais aussi avec des relevéseffectués par des autres auteurs. Des développements spécifiques sont également introduits pour traiter le casd’injection multiple et l’injection dans une chambre de combustion à géométrie variable (le système piston-cylindre). / Diesel engines are largely used in automotive propulsion due to their elevated efficiency. The most important pollutant emissions of diesel engines are NOx and particulate matter (in the case of conventional Diesel combustion). It is difficult to reduce and control these emissions because reducing one pollutant emission increases the other one. One way to try to achieve reduction in both pollutant emissions is called LTC (Low Temperature Combustion), which can reduce these two pollutants, but other pollutant emissions appear, as CO and HC. One way to achieve LTC conditions is using multiple injections (pilot/main, split injection, etc.). Modeling these injections is particularly complex, mainly due to their interactions.The objective of this thesis is to make a 1D spray model that can simulate multiple injections and the correspondingcombustion in an automobile diesel engine, continuing the work of G. Ma in his thesis defended at LHEEA in 2013,which developed a combustion model based in the 1D Eulerian spray of Musculus and Kattke (inert spray). Acomparison is made of this model and a Lagrangian model (Hiroyasu, Poetsch), which has a pseudo-2D treatment ofthe fuel spray, to evaluate the differences between the approaches and determine the best one suited for the foreseencases.The spray-wall interaction, essential to model the conditions inside an automotive engine, is subject to a bibliographyreview and coarse modeling. A pseudo-2D modeling for the Eulerian model is made, to improve the heat release rateand ignition delay calculation. The validation of these different evolutions is made by comparing the model results withexperimental results obtained from the ECN (Engine Combustion Network) data base, and also with data obtainedfrom the TSM test engines. Specific developments are also introduced to treat the multiple injection case and injectionin a variable geometry combustion chamber (the piston-cylinder system).
