▼ In this study, the
spray combustion characteristics of Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE)/ Diesel blends was investigated. An optical-accessible constant volume chamber capable of controlling ambient temperature, pressure and oxygen concentration was used to mimic the environmental conditions inside a real diesel engine cylinder. ABE fuel with typical volumetric ratios of 30% acetone, 60% butanol and 10% ethanol were blended with ultra-low sulfur diesel at 80% volumetric ratio and were tested in this study. The ambient temperature was set to be at 1100K and 900K, which represents normal
combustion conditions and low temperature
combustion conditions respectively. The ambient oxygen concentrations were set to be at 21%, 16% and 11%, representing different EGR ratios. The in-cylinder pressure was recorded by using a pressure transducer and the time-resolved Mie-scattering image and natural flame luminosity was captured using a high-speed camera coupled with a copper vapor laser. The results show that the liquid penetration was reduced by the high percentage of ABE in the blends. At the same time, the soot formation was reduced significantly by increasing oxygen content in the ABE fuel. Even more interesting, a soot-free
combustion was achieved by combining the low temperature
combustion with the higher percentage ABE case. In terms of soot emission, high ABE ratio blends are a very promising alternative fuel to be directly used in diesel engines especially under low-temperature
combustion conditions.
In addition, in this work, a modified chamber system has been described, which features a new injection pump system with a new piezoelectric injector, an upgraded LabVIEW control program and a new chamber head component. The new system has been tested and validated for the performance and consistency. Preliminary tests have shown that the repeatability of the upgraded constant volume chamber system is satisfactory.

Combustion Modelling
Ahmed Abed Al-Kadhem Majhool, 2011 Doctor of Philosophy, The
University of ManchesterThe first attempt at modelling a fully
Eulerian model for poly-disperse nature of the
spray flowwithout
using droplet size classes was proposed by Beck and Watkins
[2003a]. The parametersused to describe the distribution of droplet
sizes are the moments of the droplet size distributionfunction.
Transport equations for only some moments of the
spray distribution
function arederived and solved through classical Eulerian schemes.
The velocities to be used in the twotransport equations are
obtained by defining moment-average quantities and constructing
furthertransport equations for the relevant moment-average
velocities. The continuous distribution ofdroplets is approximated
using an analytically integrable function to use as a number
distributionwas sought such that the volume distribution it
produced was a reasonable approximation to aRosin-Rammler
distribution. The new form of the continuous function was later
revised by Yueand Watkins [2004], who implemented the Gamma
distribution whose parameters were obtainedfrom the transport
equations for second, third and fourth moments. This permits the
form ofthe two parameter number size distribution to be totally
calculated and to all predictions ofchanges to the distribution in
space and time. Hydrodynamics submodels were implementedin Jones
[2009] with higher order of numerical tools. The model is
implemented in a new codebased on current numerical methods
detailed in Ferziger and Peri ́ [2002], so as to make use of chigh
resolution differencing schemes for the transportation of the
moments and enable improvedresolution of the solution by using an
unstructured grid topology.The thesis presents work across three
different subjects of investigations into the modelling ofspray
development and its interaction with non-reactive and reactive
flow. The first part ofthis research is aimed to create a new and
robust family of convective scheme to capture theinterface between
the dispersed and the carrier phases without the need to build up
the interfaceboundary. The selection of Weighted Average Flux (WAF)
scheme is due to this scheme beingdesigned to deal with random flux
scheme which is second-order accurate in space and time.
Theconvective flux in each cell face utilizes the WAF scheme
blended with Switching Technique forAdvection and Capturing of
Surfaces (STACS) scheme for high resolution flux limiters.
Howeverin the next step, the high resolution scheme is blended with
the scheme to provide the sharpnessand boundedness of the interface
by using switching strategy. The proposed scheme is tested on
capturing the
spray edges in modelling hollow cone type sprays
without need to reconstructtwo-phase interface. A test comparison
between TVD scheme and WAF scheme using the sameflux limiter on

▼ The thesis presents work across three different subjects of investigations into the modelling of spray development and its interaction with non-reactive and reactive flow. The first part of this research is aimed to create a new and robust family of convective scheme to capture the interface between the dispersed and the carrier phases without the need to build up the interface boundary. The selection of Weighted Average Flux (WAF) scheme is due to this scheme being designed to deal with random flux scheme which is second-order accurate in space and time.

A test comparison between TVD scheme and WAF scheme using the same flux limiter on convective flow on hollow cone spray is presented. Results show that the WAF scheme gives better prediction than the TVD scheme. The only way to check the accuracy of the presented models are evaluations according to physical droplets behaviour and its interaction with air. In the second part, due to the effect of evaporation the temperature profile in the released fuel vapour has been proposed. The underlying equation utilizes transported vapour mass fraction. It can be used along with the solution of heat transfer inside a sphere. After applying boundary conditions, the equation can provide a solution of existing conditions at liquid-gas interface undergoing evaporation and it is put in a form similar to well-known one-third rule equation. The resulting equation is quadratic type that gives an accurate prediction for the thermo-physical properties due to the non-linear relation between measured properties and temperature. Comparisons are made with one-third rule where both equations are implemented in simulating hollow cone spray under evaporation conditions. The results show the presumed equation performs better than one-third rule in all comparisons. The third part of this research is about a conceptual model for turbulent spray combustion for two combustion regimes that has been proposed and tested for n-heptane solid cone spray type injected into a high-pressure, high-temperature open reactor by comparing to the available experimental data and to results obtained using two well known combustion models named the Combined Combustion Model (CCM) and the unsteady two-dimensional conditional moment closure (CMC) model. A single-zone intermittent beta-two equation turbulent model is suggested to characterise the Lumped zone. This model can handle both unburned and burned zones. Intermittency theory is used to account for the spatially non-uniform distribution of viscous dissipation. The model…

▼ Combustion of fuels appears in many sets of equipment and applications that involve transformation of a primary not useful form of energy into a secondary usable one that can be employed for purposes of electricity generation, transportation and industrial thermochemical processes. Strict environmental regulations demand for the reduction of the pollutants emissions (e.g. NO
x CO
2, CO, SO
2, etc.) that are responsible for the global warming of the planet and the formation of acid rain and smog. Since renewable energy sources cannot replace the use of fossil fuels in the foreseeable future alternative ways have to be investigated.
Combustion of biofuels such as liquid ethanol, a well known and widely used alcohol, under MILD (Moderate or Intense Low-oxygen Dilution) conditions is a scenario on that direction. From the one hand,
combustion of biofuels offers sustainability and lower greenhouse gas emissions and from the other, MILD conditions offer more uniform and lower peak temperature profiles reducing so the nitrogen oxides emissions and increasing the lifetime of the
combustion chamber. However, modeling of ethanol
spray turbulent
combustion is a complicated problem since it involves many different phenomena that are coupled between each other including the injection of the
spray, the atomization into droplets and the dispersion in the domain, the turbulence of the gaseous flow, the mass, momentum and energy exchange between the two phases and finally the
combustion. The closure of the unresolved chemical source terms in the numerical analysis of such a problem is a challenge and the Flamelet Generated Manifolds (FGM) method appears as a perspective approach to deal with it. This method approximates the turbulent flame as an ensemble of laminar, thin, one dimensional, counterflow flames the so-called flamelets. In that way the chemical reactions can be decoupled from the turbulence field and be calculated separately. The results are stored in look-up tables that are retrieved during the turbulence simulation with the use of connecting variables. Not having found a way so far to relate a
spray flamelet look-up table with the turbulence flow many researchers create a gaseous flamelet table instead ignoring the
spray and evaporation effects in it. As it has been reported this omittance can possibly lead to over-prediction of the temperature and important species profiles in the modeling of the turbulent flame. In this study, both a gaseous and
spray ethanol flamelet library are created so that a direct comparison between the two can be done. The interference of
spray influences the structure of the flame making it deviate significantly from the gaseous flamelets. The results show that not only the strain rate (as for the case of the gaseous flamelets), but also the equivalence ratio implied in the fuel side and the initial droplets’ diameter influence the flame structure of the
spray flamelets. A non-slip velocity between the droplets and the carrier gas is kept as a boundary condition for all the cases.…

▼ En las últimas décadas ha avanzado mucho la comprensión científica sobre el proceso de combustión de los chorros diesel de inyección directa gracias al desarrollo de todo tipo de técnicas e instalaciones ópticas. Además, se han desarrollado y mejorado una gran cantidad de modelos de Dinámica de Fluidos Computacional (CFD), los cuales se usan para el desarrollo de motores altamente eficientes y con bajas emisiones. Sin embargo, debido a la complejidad de los procesos físicos y químicos involucrados en este proceso de combustión, así como a las limitaciones significativas de los experimentos, aún hay muchas cuestiones sin responder: ¿Cómo afecta la combustión a la dinámica del chorro? ¿Cómo cuantificar de forma efectiva la cantidad de hollín y la temperatura del mismo en la llama? ¿Cómo afecta el flujo del aire y las inyecciones partidas al desarrollo del chorro y a la formación de hollín en condiciones no quiescente? Para ayudar a resolver las preguntas planteadas, el objetivo de este trabajo se pone en investigar al dinámica del chorro y la formación de hollín de los chorros Diesel de inyección directa en condiciones quiescentes y no quiescentes por medio de diferentes técnicas ópticas.
El trabajo se ha dividido en dos bloques principales. El primero está centrado en el estudio de las modificaciones inducidas por la combustión en la dinámica del chorro, así como la caracterización de la formación de hollín en la llama, todo ello en condiciones quiescentes. Dichas condiciones son proporcionadas por una maqueta de flujo continuo a alta presión y temperatura. La expansión radial y axial del chorro reactivo se ha investigado usando n-dodecano, n-heptano y una mezcla binaria de combustibles primarios de referencia (80% n-heptano y 20% iso-octano en masa), basándose en una base de datos existente medida mediante visualización de schlieren. Se ha estudiado tanto el papel de las condiciones de operación como las propiedades del combustible. A continuación se ha desarrollado por primera vez una técnica combinada de extinción-radiación, aplicada a la medida de hollín en llamas diesel. Gracias a esta técnica, tanto la fracción volumétrica de hollín como la temperatura se obtuvieron simultáneamente considerando los efectos de la autoabsorción en la radiación. Todo este trabajo se ha desarrollado dentro del marco de actividades de la Engine
Combustion Network (ECN).
El segundo bloque corresponde a la caracterización de la dinámica del chorro y de la formación de hollín en condiciones no quiescentes, que ocurren en la cámara de combustión de un motor monocilíndrico de dos tiempos con accesos ópticos. En esta parte, se ha llevado a cabo en primer lugar la visualización del chorro para una inyección única en condiciones no-reactivas y reactivas. Se han aplicado la visualización simultánea de schlieren y de la quimioluminiscencia del radical OH* para obtener la penetración del chorro y la longitud de despegue de la llama, mientras que la visualización de la extinción de ombroscopía difusa (DBI) se ha aplicado para cuantificar la…

▼ Since its invention in the late 1800s, the internal
combustion engine has been indispensable to society for motive transport at all scales worldwide. Despite growing concern about the environmental damage caused by the pervasive use of these engines, no compelling alternative has yet emerged that matches the internal
combustion engine's robustness, versatility, and high power-to-weight ratio. Consequently, as requirements on engine designs continue to increase to meet new emissions and efficiency standards, there is a strong need for computationally efficient and accurate predictive modeling of complex engine
combustion processes. This work presents an efficient approach to direct injection engine
combustion simulation that uses detailed chemical kinetics with a quasidimensional fuel
spray model. Instead of a full multidimensional approach that solves continuity, momentum, energy, and chemistry equations simultaneously over a fine grid, the spatial information is greatly reduced and modeled phenomenologically. The model discretizes the fuel
spray into independent parcels that entrain air from the surroundings and account for liquid fuel vaporization. Gas phase species concentrations and heat release in each parcel are calculated by detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms for the fuel under consideration. Comparisons of predicted pressure, heat release, and emissions with data from diesel engine experiments show good agreement overall, and suggest that
spray combustion processes can be modeled without calibration of empirical constants at a significantly lower computational cost than with standard multidimensional tools. The new
combustion model is also used to investigate
spray structure and emissions trends for biodiesel fuels in a compression ignition engine. Results underscore the complex relationships among operational parameters, fuel chemistry, and NOx emissions, and provide further evidence of a link between stoichiometry near the flame lift-off length and formation of NOx. In addition, fuel molecular structure is demonstrated to be a significant factor in NOx emissions, but more robust chemical kinetic mechanisms and soot models for biodiesel are likely needed for improved predictive accuracy in modeling alternative fuels.

▼ This thesis presents an extensive study of turbulent air-blasted sprays aimed at advancing the current understanding of the atomization and the turbulent combustion of dense sprays. The burner employed controls the spray quality by recessing the liquid-injecting needle inside the air-blast tube to transition the spray from dilute to dense. A pilot is used to stabilize the flame to the burner which is sitting in a co-flowing stream of secondary air. Three fuels, acetone, ethanol, and biodiesel, are used to generate several sprays that cover a broad range of non-dimensional numbers. Probability distributions of wavelength and amplitude of instabilities forming on coaxial air-blast atomizers are measured directly using high-speed shadowgraphs (or back-lit microscopic imaging), in a range of cases that investigate the independent effects of a suite of parameters. The influence of jet velocity and gas velocity on the initiation and growth of jet instabilities is discussed. The range of mechanisms governing the formation of liquid fragments and their relation to surface instabilities is discussed. Previous work suggested that the mean wavelength scales with the boundary layer thickness. This is confirmed here and extended to demonstrate that the wavelength probability distribution correlates well with the ligament length probability distribution. This establishes a direct link between interfacial instabilities and ligament formation in air-assisted primary atomization. The complete structure of atomizing liquid fragments is analyzed by employing multi-dimensional visualization techniques and advanced image processing, where objects from multiple views are matched to extract three-dimensional information. An in-house MATLAB script is developed to extract the spray volume, which employs the principle of image discretization, where each image is divided into a number of slices, and the individual slice from each camera is matched to compute the liquid volume fraction in each image. The volume of individual objects is calculated based on their planar area and orientation. An error analysis is performed using dozens of three-dimensional virtual models of fragment-like shapes with a known volume. Local characteristics of atomizing fragments are discussed by using the information obtained through the slicing method. A detailed account of fragment statistics are provided for the atomizing sprays. The LIF-OH-CH2O technique is used to measure the product of OH and CH2O ([OH]*[CH2O]) and hence the heat release zones in turbulent, moderately dense spray flames of ethanol and biodiesel fuels. A combination of several filters is used to remove interference from droplet luminosity. Mie scattering is measured jointly on a separate camera to locate the droplets with respect to the reaction zones. It is found that while the overall flame structure is similar to that of a diffusion flame. Structures referred to as burning rings of different sizes are observed, and these are ignited by heat source before they grow, propagate, and burnout.…

▼ Afin de réduire la consommation spécifique et les émissions de CO₂ des moteurs aéronautiques, les industriels cherchent à augmenter la pression maximale dans le cycle thermodynamique de Brayton. Cette augmentation de pression entraîne un fort impact sur la structure de la flamme (épaisseur, vitesse, cinétique chimique) mais également sur les émissions de polluants, tels que les NOx. Les émissions de NOx peuvent être limitées en adoptant des technologies innovantes comme les chambres de combustion low-NOx. De même, la haute pression dans la chambre impacte également les propriétés radiatives des gaz brûlés, qui sont importantes pour les diagnostics optiques utilisés pour caractériser la flamme. Un nouveau système d’injection de type pauvre prémélangé (LP pour Lean-Premixed) pour brûleurs aéronautiques a été étudié expérimentalement au laboratoire CORIA à Rouen avec des diagnostics optiques avancés. Dans le cadre de ces travaux, des simulations aux grandes échelles de ce système ont été réalisées pour un point de fonctionnement de référence à 8.33bar et 669.3K. L’impact des caractéristiques de l’atomisation sur la flamme est évalué par une étude paramétrique. Une analyse du temps d’évaporation caractéristique et de son influence sur la flamme a été effectuée. Cette étude paramétrique montre que la qualité de l’atomisation influence fortement la topologie de la flamme et la distribution du combustible dans la chambre de combustion. Les résultats numériques sont ensuite comparés aux données expérimentales afin d’apporter des précisions sur la topologie de la flamme. De plus, un modèle à deux niveaux capable de simuler la Fluorescence Induite par Laser (LIF) a été développé. Le but de ce modèle est de pouvoir comparer des images brutes obtenues expérimentalement avec les résultats numériques. À cet effet, l’interaction faisceau laser / gaz brûlés est modélisée pour quantifier les phénomènes d’absorption et de “quenching”, qui sont importants pour obtenir des mesures quantitatives à partir du signal de fluorescence. Avec ce modèle, les simulations permettent d’évaluer les propriétés radiatives des gaz brûlés le long du parcours de la nappe laser.
To reduce the specific consumption and CO2 emissions of aircraft engines, manufacturers are seeking to increase the maximum pressure in Brayton’s thermodynamic cycle. This pressure increase has a strong impact on the flame structure (thickness, speed, chemical kinetics) but also on pollutant emissions. High pressure leads to an increase in NOx emissions, which can be reduced by the adoption of low-NOx technologies. It also impacts the radiative properties of the burnt gases. These burnt gases are important since they are used in optical diagnostics to characterize the flame. A new Lean-Premixed (LP) injection system for aeronautical burners was experimentally investigated with advanced optical diagnostics at CORIA laboratory in Rouen. This work aims to perform Large-Eddy Simulations of this injector at a reference operating point at 8.33 bar and669.3K. The spray features impact…

▼ Des crises vibratoires ont été constatées dans plusieurs centrales thermiques d’EDF opérant avec du fioul lourd, certaines ayant entraîné l’arrêt du foyer. Ce travail traite des instabilités de
combustion pouvant se déclencher dans ce type de système où le combustible liquide est injecté avec de la vapeur d’eau et où l’écoulement d’air est mis en rotation. Ces phénomènes vibratoires résultent d’un couplage résonant entre la dynamique de la
combustion et l’acoustique du foyer. La réponse acoustique des flammes diphasiques non-prémélangées swirlées reste largement méconnue et est difficilement analysable sur le foyer réel. L’objectif de ce travail est donc d’étudier la stabilité des chaudières EDF à partir de l’analyse de la réponse d’une flamme diphasique non-prémélangée swirlée issue d’un injecteur générique et soumise à des perturbations de la vitesse acoustique. Cette réponse est déterminée sur un dispositif original (DIFAV) équipé d’un swirler et d’un injecteur bi-fluides fonctionnant à la vapeur d’eau et au dodécane. Ce système est constitué des principaux éléments des brûleurs utilisés sur les centrales thermiques EDF à une échelle 1/7000. Le dispositif est conçu pour facilement modifier la géométrie de la tête d’injection, les conditions d’injection de combustible et de vapeur et ainsi contrôler le
spray généré. Des visualisations à la sortie d’une buse d’injection montrent l’influence de la topologie de l’écoulement diphasique dans l’injecteur sur la taille des gouttes mesurées dans le
spray. Des mesures de taille et de vitesse des gouttes lorsque le rapport des débits de vapeur et de combustible (GLR) est modifié sont réalisées. Ces données comparées à des modèles ont permis d’estimer l’évolution de la taille des gouttes générées par l’injecteur qui équipe les centrales thermiques lorsque le GLR varie. Une analyse modale du foyer DIFAV et d’un modèle simplifié de la chaudière réelle est ensuite menée. Les fréquences propres et les taux d’amortissement du foyer DIFAV sont déterminés expérimentalement en soumettant le système à une modulation acoustique externe. Un modèle acoustique simplifié composé de trois cavités couplées représentatif du brûleur DIFAV est également développé. Des simulations acoustiques réalisées avec COMSOL Multiphysics sur une coupe transverse d’une chaudière générique représentative de la chaudière industrielle permettent d’identifier trois modes à basses fréquences établis entre les plenums et la chambre de
combustion qui sont susceptibles d’être instables. La sensibilité de ces modes à la géométrie du foyer et aux conditions limites est étudiée. La réponse de la flamme générique lorsqu’elle est soumise à des modulations acoustiques de l’écoulement d’air en amont du brûleur est ensuite mesurée sur le banc DIFAV pour différents niveaux d’excitation et deux topologies de flamme lorsque les conditions d’injection sont modifiées. Les mécanismes qui pilotent l’évolution du gain de l’une des fonctions de transfert généralisées (FDF) de la flamme sont étudiés à l’aide de visualisations en…

▼ Afin de contribuer à l'amélioration des simulations numériques de foyers industriels avec recycle de gaz brûlés et combustible liquide, la modélisation de la combustion turbulente non prémélangée est abordée sous deux de ses aspects : le traitement des problèmes diphasiques et la prise en compte des configurations complexes de mélange (dilution, recirculation interne).Une flamme spray éthanol/oxygène diluée par du dioxyde de carbone est d'abord calculée en LES dans un formalisme Euler-Lagrange et une chimie détaillée pour une résolution atteignant 250 µm. Les conditions d'injection du brouillard de gouttes sont déterminées à partir de mesures expérimentales de granulométrie et d'anémométrie phase Doppler.Dans une seconde partie, un nouveau formalisme de description de la combustion turbulente, basé sur l'introduction de temps caractéristiques de l'histoire du mélange est développé, puis validé en LES sur le cas de référence d'une flamme jet dans un écoulement co-courant vicié.
As a contribution to the improvement of numerical simulations of industrial furnaces with flue gas recirculation and liquid fuel, two aspects of the non-premixed turbulent combustion modeling are addressed: the handling of two-phase problems and the treatment of complex mixing configuration, such as dilution and internal recirculation. An ethanol/oxygen spray flame is first solved in an LES, following an Euler-Lagrange formalism, with detailed chemistry and at a resolution reaching 250 µm. The spray injection conditions are determined from granulometry and Doppler-phase anemometry measurements. In a second part, a novel formalism to describe turbulent combustion is developed, based on the introduction of characteristic timescales of the mixing history. It is then validated on the reference case of a jet flame in a vitiated co-flow.

▼ Fuel droplets represent strong inhomogeneities that are generally detrimental and intensify the stochastic behaviour of ignition. Still, the presence of small droplets has been found to decrease minimum ignition energies and enhance flame speeds. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the phases of ignition in sprays is carried out in a controlled, well-characterised experiment: the initiation of a spherically expanding flame in a turbulent droplet-laden jet by a laser spark. A revision of definitions of ignition-related terms is proposed based on a critical time scale of the spark effects
on the flame, evaluated from OH* visualisation, allowing for a distinction between the phases of kernel generation and flame growth. Based on the critical time scale, ignition failure time scales can be measured, as well as kernel sizes conditional on ignition or failure. Small kernels typically quenched faster than the critical time scale, characterising the short-mode failure. This mode was suppressed by increasing the laser energy and, consequently, the initial kernel size. Still, the ignitability of lean ethanol mixtures was only effectively improved through high-energy sparks and
partial prevaporisation, with ignition being limited by breakdown. In jet fuel sprays, a suppression of short and long-mode failure occurred by decreasing the droplet size. In fact, by doing this, different flame propagation mechanisms were observed by OH/fuel PLIF. Both aviation fuels investigated – Jet A and a renewable alternative, ATJ-8 – exhibited similar flame speed behaviour due to changes in droplet size in each of the modes identified: the droplet, inter-droplet, and gaseous-like propagation modes. Concentrated reactions around large droplets found in lean conditions allowed for a slowly propagating flame front which ignited new droplets. Stoichiometric to rich conditions presented stronger evaporation at the flame and higher and more uniform heat release. Still, large droplets penetrated the flame, locally inducing regions of negative curvature and continuing to evaporate in the products. The droplet-induced effects disappeared at low SMD and rich conditions, giving rise to a fully gaseous layer at the flame and the highest flame speeds. Finally, insight and data from experiments are used to improve a low-order ignition model towards applications with sprays. Fuel fluctuations are modelled using a stochastic approach, and the extinction criterion of the model is calibrated. The model is then tested for an aviation gas-turbine combustor.

▼ The efficient and clean combustion of liquid fuels is a fundamental requirement in the design of future energy systems. Simulation plays a more and more important role in the design of such burners. In this work the spray combustion simulation approach introduced by Ma (2016) is improved, and validated against the CORIA Jet Spray Flame database (Verdier et al., 2017). The database presents droplet temperatures measured by global rainbow refractometry technique, which gives a unique insight in the flame structure. The two phase flow is treated with an Eulerian-Lagrangian approach. Flamelet Generated Manifold (FGM) is used to model the gas phase combustion. The RANS equations are solved using final volume method, with standard k − ε turbulence modelling. The turbulence-chemistry interaction is addressed with assumed probability density function method. The spray cloud is modelled with the Lagrangian transport of droplets including heat and mass transfer. Ma (2016) developed a solver based on the OpenFOAM 2.3.x libraries. His development is complemented in this work with a novel spray model. The improved spray modelling allows the treatment of droplet evaporation in the context of FGM without limiting the complexity of the chemical mechanism. This improvement is crucial for the modelling of complex fuels and the correct prediction of emissions. The modelling concept is rather light-weight considering the RANS approach. Despite the low computational expenses, most of the results agree fairly well with the measurement data. However the correct prediction of droplet temperature remains an an unresolved problem. Ma, L.

▼ Fuel direct injection represents one of the key turning points in the development
of the Diesel engines. The appeal of this solution has been growing thanks
to the parallel advancement in the technology of the injection hardware and in
the knowledge of the physics involved in the
spray formation and
combustion.
In the present thesis, the effect of partial needle lift and injection rate shaping
has been investigated experimentally using a multi-orifice Diesel injector.
Injection rate shaping is one of the most attractive alternatives to multiple
injection strategies but its implementation has been for long time impeded by
technological limitations. A novel direct-acting injector prototype made it possible
to carry out the present research: this injector features a mechanical coupling
between the nozzle needle and the piezo-stack actuator, allowing a fully flexible
control on the nozzle needle movement and enabling partial needle lift as well
as the implementation of alternative injection rate shapes typologies. Different
optical diagnostics were applied to study the
spray development and
combustion
in a novel continuous flow test chamber that allows an accurate control on a
wide range of thermodynamic conditions (up to 1000K and 15MPa). In addition,
hydraulic characterization tests were carried out to analyze the fuel flow through
the injector nozzle.
Partial needle lift has been found to affect the injection event, reducing the
mass flow rate (as expected) but also causing a reduction in the effective orifice
area and an increase on the spreading angle. Moreover, at this condition, higher
hole-to-hole dispersion and flow instabilities were detected. Needle vibrations
caused by the needle interactions with fuel flow and by the onset of cavitation in
the needle seat are likely the causes of this behavior.
Injection rate shaping has a substantial impact on the premixed phase of the
combustion and on the location where the ignition takes place. Furthermore, the
results proved that the modifications in the internal flow caused by the partial
needle lift are reflected on the ignition timing. On the other hand, the analysis of
the experimental data through a 1D
spray model revealed that an increasing mass
flow rate (e.g. ramp or boot injection rate profiles) causes an increase in the fuelair
equivalence ratio at the lift-off length and a consequent higher soot formation
during the diffusive phase of the
combustion. Finally, the wide range of boundary
conditions tested in all the experiments served to draw general conclusions about
the physics involved in the injection/
combustion event and, in some cases, to
obtain statistical correlations.

▼ Fuel droplets represent strong inhomogeneities that are generally detrimental and intensify the stochastic behaviour of ignition. Still, the presence of small droplets has been found to decrease minimum ignition energies and enhance flame speeds. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the phases of ignition in sprays is carried out in a controlled, well-characterised experiment: the initiation of a spherically expanding flame in a turbulent droplet-laden jet by a laser spark. A revision of definitions of ignition-related terms is proposed based on a critical time scale of the spark effects on the flame, evaluated from OH* visualisation, allowing for a distinction between the phases of kernel generation and flame growth. Based on the critical time scale, ignition failure time scales can be measured, as well as kernel sizes conditional on ignition or failure. Small kernels typically quenched faster than the critical time scale, characterising the short-mode failure. This mode was suppressed by increasing the laser energy and, consequently, the initial kernel size. Still, the ignitability of lean ethanol mixtures was only effectively improved through high-energy sparks and partial prevaporisation, with ignition being limited by breakdown. In jet fuel sprays, a suppression of short and long-mode failure occurred by decreasing the droplet size. In fact, by doing this, different flame propagation mechanisms were observed by OH/fuel PLIF. Both aviation fuels investigated - Jet A and a renewable alternative, ATJ-8 - exhibited similar flame speed behaviour due to changes in droplet size in each of the modes identified: the droplet, inter-droplet, and gaseous-like propagation modes. Concentrated reactions around large droplets found in lean conditions allowed for a slowly propagating flame front which ignited new droplets. Stoichiometric to rich conditions presented stronger evaporation at the flame and higher and more uniform heat release. Still, large droplets penetrated the flame, locally inducing regions of negative curvature and continuing to evaporate in the products. The droplet-induced effects disappeared at low SMD and rich conditions, giving rise to a fully gaseous layer at the flame and the highest flame speeds. Finally, insight and data from experiments are used to improve a low-order ignition model towards applications with sprays. Fuel fluctuations are modelled using a stochastic approach, and the extinction criterion of the model is calibrated. The model is then tested for an aviation gas-turbine combustor.

▼ The novel diagnostic approaches employed in this dissertation showcase the on-going development of experimental datasets in turbulent spray jets and flames; for both physical insight and model validation. The piloted Sydney Needle Spray Burner (SYNSBURNTM) is introduced for this purpose, featuring air-blast atomization with liquid injection from a needle that can be translated within a co-flowing air stream. The pilot-stabilized spray flames can range between the two extremes of dilute and dense by physically translating the needle tip relative to the burner’s exit plane. The burner provides a versatile platform for studying complex multi-phase flows more akin to practical combustors and the resulting analysis has proved useful in the development and validation of related models for turbulent spray jets and flames. The stability characteristics for these spray flames are presented for multiple recess lengths using acetone, ethanol and biodiesel fuels. LDV/PDA and high-speed shadowgraphy are performed in the dense atomization region of spray jets and flames to characterise the flow-field. A novel classification scheme based on shape is developed and used to clearly define the boundary conditions and to map the evolution of liquid fragments. The characteristic final breakup point of the liquid column, as well as the onset of primary and secondary atomization regimes are spatially-resolved using these techniques. The first temperature measurements in turbulent dilute and dense spray flames using single- laser-shot chirped-probe-pulse femtosecond coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CPP-fs-CARS) are demonstrated and the subsequent dataset analysed. The state-of-the-art 5 kHz CPP-fs-CARS system has achieved integration times of 3 picoseconds (ps) as well as spatial resolution of approximately 800μm along beam propagation and 60μm in the transverse dimension. New details of the technique, calibration, correction of interferences, and spectral fitting procedures relevant to turbulent spray flame thermometry are presented, along with estimates of the associated error. The measurements are validated against well-established datasets in comparable gaseous flames. The thermal structure of spray flames is spatially and temporally resolved. The correlation between the flow and temperature-field show that thermal structures in turbulent spray flames are affected by liquid morphology in the near-field. The wealth of information available in these combined datasets has provided great insight into partially-premixed combustion.

▼ Turbulent non-premixed swirl-stabilized flames of gaseous and liquid fuels were investigated experimentally in an optically-accessible gas turbine model combustor. Propane/air and ethylene/air flames were operated at three global fuel-air equivalence ratios.
Spray flames of liquid n-heptane fuel were stabilized at six global fuel-air equivalence ratios. The velocity, reaction zone structure and soot measurements were performed using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry, planar laser induced fluorescence of OH radicals and laser induced incandescence, respectively. In all the experimented test flow cases, the time-averaged velocity data show the presence of two large recirculation zones, separated by a zone of high velocity swirled inflow. The inner recirculation zone, which surrounds the combustor axis, shows high turbulence intensities. In gaseous fuel flames, the inner recirculation zone also contained most of the
combustion-generated soot concentration of the flow field of gaseous fuel flames. The flow field regions exterior to the inner recirculation zone showed negligible soot values mainly due to the soot oxidation caused by the high intensity turbulence as well as strong OH intensity near the recirculation zone boundary. The time-averaged soot values showed strong sensitivity to changes in the air flow rates. The changes in the air flow rate mostly increased the soot intermittency, while the instantaneous soot concentrations stayed nearly constant. Intensified turbulence as well as shortening of flow time for soot chemistry are speculated to be the reasons for the high sensitivity of soot values to air flow rates. Further, in n-heptane/air flames, the velocity data showed a region of high velocity fuel droplets, positioned in-between two large recirculation zones. The boundary of the inner recirculation zones showed the heat release events, thereby leading to high OH counts. The OH fluorescence profiles showed the major role played by the recirculation zones in fuel droplet evaporation, forming the evaporated fuel-air reactant mixture, and subsequently, igniting the reactant mixture in the presence of hot
combustion products and active radicals.

▼ L'objectif de cette thèse est de contribuer au développement et à la validation d'outils numériques permettant la Simulation aux Grandes Echelles (SGE) de l'allumage d'un écoulement turbulent diphasique dans une chambre de combustion. Pour ce faire, une méthode de dépôt d'énergie modélisant l'apport d'énergie lié au claquage de la bougie d'allumage a été implémentée dans la chaîne de calcul CEDRE. Cette méthode a été validée sur une simulation de l'allumage d'un écoulement laminaire purement gazeux d'air et de propane. Une SGE de l'écoulement d'air du MERCATO a été effectué à l'aide du solveur Navier-Stokes CHARME de CEDRE. Cette simulation reproduit fidèlement l'écoulement turbulent non-réactif dans la chambre de combustion. Une méthode d'injection simplifiée FIMUR a été ajoutée au solveur lagrangien SPARTE de CEDRE. Dans cette méthode, des gouttes sont injectées directement au nez de l'injecteur avec une distribution de vitesse et de taille imposée. Une SGE de l'écoulement turbulent diphasique dispersé non-réactif dans la chambre MERCATO a ensuite été réalisée avec cette méthode. La comparaison des champs particulaires moyens de vitesse et de taille obtenus par simulation numérique avec les données expérimentales est satisfaisante. Enfin, des SGE de l'allumage de la chambre MERCATO ont été effectuées à partir du champ diphasique non-réactif simulé et de la méthode de dépôt d'énergie développée. Selon l'instant du dépôt d'énergie, les simulations conduisent à des allumages réussis ou ratés. La propagation de la flamme dans la chambre pour un allumage réussi a fait l'objet d'une analyse détaillée pour tenter de déterminer les principaux facteurs l'influençant.
The goal of this thesis is to contribute to the development and validation of numerical tools for the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of the ignition of a turbulent multiphase flow in a combustion chamber. An energy deposition method that models the energy supplied by the spark plug to the flow was implemented in the CEDRE code. This method was validated on a simulation of the ignition of a purely gaseous laminar propane-air flow. Then, a LES of the non-reacting gas flow in the monosector combustor MERCATO was performed with the Navier-Stokes solver CHARME of the CEDRE code. The comparison between simulations and experiments demonstrates that the main flow field features are well reproduced. In order to simulate the non-reacting dispersed two-phase flow of the same configuration, a simplified injection method called FIMUR was implemented in the Lagrangian solver SPARTE of the CEDRE code. In this method, droplets are injected directly at the tip of the injector with velocities deduced from experimental correlations while the size distribution is directly obtained from experimental data. The comparison of the mean droplet velocity and diameter fields in the vicinity of the injector between simulations and experiments appears satisfactory. Finally, LES's of the ignition of the MERCATO were performed using the non-reacting two-phase flow simulations and the…

▼ La combustion d’hydrocarbures représente encore aujourd’hui une part très majoritaire de la production d’énergie mondiale, en particulier dans la propulsion aérospatiale. La plupart des brûleurs industriels sont alimentés par un carburant sous forme liquide, qui est injecté directement dans la chambre de combustion, ce qui génère une forte interaction entre le spray, l’écoulement turbulent et la zone de combustion. Cette interaction a déjà largement été étudiée, mais certaines questions restent ouvertes. En particulier, la prise en compte de la combustion de goutte isolée dans le cadre de la Simulation aux Grandes Echelles (‘Large Eddy Simulation’ LES) de géométries complexes reste un problème difficile. L’objectif de cette thèse est d’améliorer la modélisation de la combustion du spray dans le contexte de la LES de configurations complexes avec une approche Euler-Lagrange. Dans un premier temps, un modèle de combustion de gouttes incluant les différents régimes pour la LES, appelé MustARD pour « Multi-State Algorithm for Reacting Droplets », est proposé et validé dans plusieurs configurations académiques de complexité croissante. Dans un deuxième temps, MustARD est évalué sur une configuration de brûleur expérimental et comparé aux modèles classiques sans combustion de gouttes isolées. Cette étude montre que le régime de combustion de gouttes isolées n’est pas négligeable dans une telle configuration et qu’il modifie la structure de flamme. D’autre part, les comparaisons avec les résultats expérimentaux montrent que le modèle MustARD permet d’améliorer la précision des LES de sprays turbulents réactifs.
The combustion of hydrocarbons still represents the major part of the worldwide production of energy, especially for aerospace. Most industrials burners are fed with liquid fuel that is directly injected in the combustion chamber, generating a strong interaction between the spray, the turbulent flow and the combustion. This interaction has been widely studied, but is not yet fully understood. In particular, modeling individual droplet combustion, in the framework of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of complex geometries, is a difficult issue. This work aims at improving models for spray combustion, in the context of two-phase reactive LES of complex configurations using an Euler-Lagrange approach. First, a droplet combustion model accounting for the various regimes and called MustARD for « Multi-State Algorithm for Reacting Droplets » is proposed and validated on several academic configurations of growing complexity. Second, MustARD is evaluated in the LES of a lab-scale burner and compared to classical models neglecting individual droplet combustion. Results show in particular the importance of the new model and its impact on the flame structure. Moreover, the comparison with experiments shows that MustARD contributes to improve the numerical prediction of LES of two-phase reacting flows.

▼ La combustion d’hydrocarbures représente encore aujourd’hui une part très majoritaire de la production d’énergie dans le monde, et en particulier dans l’industrie aéronautique. La plupart des brûleurs industriels sont alimentés par un carburant sous forme liquide, injecté directement dans la chambre de combustion, générant ainsi de fortes interactions entre le spray, l’écoulement turbulent et la flamme. Dans le but d’acquérir une meilleure compréhension de la structure complexe des flammes de spray, une étude numérique a été réalisée sur la configuration du brûleur diphasique KIAI, caractérisée de façon précise et complète expérimentalement. Une approche de type simulation des grandes échelles a été utilisée pour simuler la phase gazeuse tandis que la phase liquide était résolue selon un formalisme Lagrangien déterministe (LES-DPS). L’analyse détaillée de la structure de flamme de spray permet de mettre en exergue le rôle important de la combustion non prémélangée dans ce type de flamme. Cela a motivé dans une seconde étape le développement d’une nouvelle approche pour modéliser les flammes de diffusion turbulentes. Le modèle présenté s’appuie sur la réponse des flammes de diffusion laminaires au maillage, à l’étirement et au plissement. Le dégagement de chaleur global de la flamme a été analysé dans des configurations de complexité croissante, et la capacité du modèle à le décrire a été évaluée.
The combustion of hydrocarbons still represents a major part of the worldwide production of energy, especially in the aeronautical industry. Most industrial burners are fed with liquid fuel that is directly injected in the combustion chamber, generating a strong interaction between the spray, the turbulent flow and the flame. In order to provide a better understanding of turbulent spray flame complex structures, a numerical study has been performed on the two-phase flow burner KIAI which has been experimentally fully characterized. Numerical simulations consist of Large Eddy Simulation coupled to Discrete Particle Simulation for the dispersed phase (LES-DPS). A detailed analysis of the flame structure shows that non-premixed combustion plays an important role in this type of spray flame. This motivates, in a second step of the present work, the development of a new approach to model turbulent diffusion flames. The model is based on the response to the mesh, strain rate and wrinkling. The global flame heat release is analyzed through configurations of increasing complexity and the capacity of the model to describe it is evaluated.

One of the recently proposed solutions to improve the aforementioned conditions is flameless spray combustion. In this process the combustion of fuel is done with oxidizer diluted with recirculated exhaust gases, which results in a lower peak temperature and more distributed reaction zone, so the NOx produced in conventional burners is highly reduced. Hence, it can be a promising approach in order to increase efficiency and decrease pollutant emission. Because flameless combustion is a novel concept, it should be fully investigated and optimized before being applied to large-scale cases. Due to the considerable costs of experimental tests, numerical simulation is used more and more to predict the performance of the flameless furnaces before utilizing them in a real case. The objective of this study is to develop and validate computational models for flameless spray combustion base on a validation study using the Delft Spray-in-Hot-Coflow (DSHC) flame. The burner has been designed to mimic the flameless oxidation of light oils. The properties of DSHC ethanol flames are computed by using a combination of CFD models for turbulence, chemistry and dispersed multiphase flow. The results are validated by comparison with the available experimental data for gas-phase velocity and temperature as well as droplets statistics. Furthermore, the experimental data are available for another case in which air is used instead of air diluted with exhaust gases. This case is also simulated to validate the models. This study employs a Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) simulation approach. The combination of different turbulence and combustion models is investigated while the standard Lagrangian spray model is kept the same. The steady flamelet and the Flamelet Generated Manifold (FGM) models are two combustion models that are validated. It is shown that the FGM model can predict flame structure such as double-reaction region, lift-off, etc. better than the steady flamelet model. Moreover, it was observed that the Reynolds stress and the realizable k-epsilon models show similar results while the standard k-epsilon model performs differently. The effects of other models and parameters are also investigated. The results show that radiative heat transfer, secondary atomization and coalescence of droplets as well as buoyancy have negligible effects on the DSHC ethanol flame. Still, the effects of complete two-way coupling between two phases (liquid and gas) are demonstrated to be important.

▼ [ES] En los últimos años, la investigación en motores se ha centrado principalmente en la reducción de emisiones contaminantes y en el aumento de la eficiencia. Muchos de los esfuerzos de investigación actuales en este campo están dirigidos a mejorar y desarrollar nuevas estrategias activas para la reducción de emisiones, en particular centradas en los nuevos conceptos de combustión y en la obtención de un mejor control sobre ella. Su desarrollo requiere la aplicación de nuevas herramientas experimentales y teóricas. Estas herramientas deberían permitir tanto la aplicación de nuevas estrategias activas de control de contaminantes como ampliar el conocimiento básico de los fundamentos de los procesos involucrados. En este contexto es donde se encuadra el objetivo de esta Tesis: el desarrollo y optimización de un nuevo sistema de encendido no intrusivo y modulable, que permitirá el control sobre el tiempo y la ubicación del punto de encendido. Dicho sistema se aplicará para el encendido de chorros Diesel de inyección directa. En particular, se pretende evidenciar cómo las condiciones locales al encendido pueden afectar al desarrollo de la combustión posterior. Para lograr este objetivo, el trabajo de investigación se ha dividido en dos bloques principales. El primero se centra en el desarrollo y la optimización del sistema de encendido. Aprovechando las posibilidades que ofrece el proceso de inducción de plasma con láser y, una vez seleccionado el mejor método de inducción para su aplicación en un entorno especifico como el de un motor, se ha llevado a cabo un proceso de optimización y validación del sistema. Tal proceso resulta de importancia básica en el desarrollo de esta investigación, ya que la aplicación de un sistema de encendido totalmente fiable resulta ser fundamental, tanto en términos de su posible aplicación para control de combustión como en términos de las posibilidades de estudios que pueda ofrecer. Al principio, a partir de un extenso estudio de la literatura sobre el proceso de inducción de plasma con láser, se han obtenido los parámetros fundamentales a tener en cuenta para la aplicación del sistema al encendido de chorros de combustible de inyección directa. A partir de estos parámetros, se ha diseñado un primer sistema de encendido. Luego su fiabilidad en la inducción de plasma ha sido estudiada experimentalmente en condiciones ambientales y de motor, aplicando una metodología de optimización desarrollada en este mismo trabajo experimental. Como resultado principal de este primer bloque de trabajo, se ha podido obtener un sistema de encendido por plasma inducido con láser completamente optimizado y fiable, así como un método novedoso para su validación y optimización. El segundo bloque de trabajo corresponde a la aplicación del sistema al encendido de un chorro Diesel de inyección directa en condiciones reales del motor. El objetivo de este bloque era lograr dos hitos principales: la determinación de las capacidades y los límites del sistema en su aplicación, y el desarrollo de un primer estudio…

▼ The aim of the PhD work is to investigate the fundamental differences in
combustion behavior when split injections are used in low temperature
combustion regime. In this thesis, the first injection is also called as pilot injection and second injection is also called as main injection. The broad aspects which are studied encompassing the investigation is to study the ignition delay, lift-off and soot formation of such a double split
spray combustion. The mechanisms of ignition, lift-off and soot production are to be studied since the main ignition and lift-off were found to differ from the pilot which effect net soot production. The planned studies in the present work are divided into 1) experimental and 2) numerical approaches. Experimental approach involves high-speed schlieren and luminosity imaging to visualize the
spray/flame progress and qualitative soot formation respectively. This is often coupled in a simultaneous way to the laser-based planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) technique to visualize ignition behavior in terms of formaldehyde presence and soot precursor visualization of poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). As part of CFD simulations, thorough validations of the fuel liquid length, vapor (mixture) presence, temporal and spatial species (formaldehyde, soot) presence, ignition delay, lift-off length, and heat release rate are performed. The main objective of the proposal work would be to perform experimental research with split injection strategies, simulate them using CFD and then understand the underlying mechanisms of important processes of ignition, lift off mechanisms in subsequent injections and the associated soot production mechanisms.

▼ This thesis seeks to investigate the turbulent mixing influence on
spray atomization and
combustion processes encountered in compression ignition diesel engines. Despite greater thermal efficiency of diesel engine than spark ignition engine, the nature of stratified air-fuel mixture and non-premixed flame gives rise to unacceptable levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), thus the use of diesel engines has often been limited to heavy-duty vehicle and industrial power sources. However, recent advancement in diesel engine
combustion strategies, e.g. low temperature
combustion (LTC), has demonstrated promising pathways towards improvement in the engine-out pollutants. Therefore, particularly in the effort of computer-aided engine design tasks, such a new engine design concept requires more accurate modeling techniques applicable over a broader range of engine operating conditions than those of conventional engine strategies. In the notion of challenges in new engine operating conditions, this thesis aims to present successful implementation of improvement in numerical modeling techniques in high-pressure
spray atomization and resulting turbulent
spray flame of interest. Three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in in-cylinder turbu- lent
combustion is considered an integral part of engine design progress, but rather a cost-prohibitive to apply over a broad range of engine relevant conditions. In spite of successful use of existing
spray atomization modeling, prior researchers have pointed out some degree of failure in LTC targeted injection strategies. Furthermore, finite rate and strong nonlinearity of chemistry influenced by local turbulent mixing still re- main in challenges to account for in cost-efficient CFD analysis. In this context, a new attempt of hybrid
spray primary breakup modeling is presented and demonstrated in successful application aimed at LTC technique. In addition, the Representative Interactive Flamelets (RIF) model with aid of multi-flamelets approach is extensively assessed in terms of predictive capability against classical
combustion model. The
combustion model employed in this study are fully examined in the general diesel
combustion metric, e.g., ignition delay and flame lift-off length as well as newly sug- gested test metric,
combustion recession. The
combustion recession has been recently idenfied, but still remain largely unknown. Since the governing physics of this phenomenon is characterized by turbulent mixing coupled with finite rate chemistry, this can be considered as a relevant test metric for turbulent
combustion models. In addition, very recent experimental studies have introduced a new non-sooting diesel
combustion technique by manipulating direct injection method. The ducted fuel injection (DFI) has thus been demonstrated with its potential of low soot emissions. Knowing that the duct equipped ahead of injector nozzle was identifed to enhance turbulent mixing, investigations of DFI
combustion may prove the effectiveness of turbulece-chemistry…

▼ Cold
spray is a recently developed particle consolidation technique that has attracted attention as a method to create structural energetic materials. These materials can be used to replace non-energetic structural components in munitions and other devices. This replacement effectively increases the energy density of the device, without the need to develop a new high explosive payload, which has historically been very challenging. These materials are also candidates for use in self-propagating high-temperature synthesis applications, where the product of the energetic reaction is a useful material itself. These reactants can be deposited in a shape near their final form using cold
spray, and then ignited to form the desired product.
In cold
spray, particles are entrained in a carrier gas that is accelerated to high velocity through a supersonic nozzle. The high speed gas and particle stream impinges on a substrate, which the particles impact. The force of this impact is great enough that the particles adhere to the substrate and form a coating. These coatings can have densities and strengths near those of bulk material, making them potentially useful as structural components.
The low gas temperatures used in cold
spray differentiate it from other thermal
spray techniques. These low temperatures allow particles to remain solid throughout the deposition process. This is a significant benefit, as materials that react when mixed in a molten state can be cold sprayed without reaction taking place. It is this feature that makes cold
spray an attractive process for the creation of energetic materials.
The energetic material used in this work is an intermetallic composed of a mixture of nickel (Ni) and aluminum (Al). The two metals are intimately mixed with each other as they are deposited, but remain heterogeneous until they are heated to the point of reaction. This intermetallic reaction is exothermic, gasless, and results in a product composed of various nickel aluminide phases, such as Al3Ni or AlNi.
The goal of this work is to investigate methods to control the properties of energetic materials made using cold
spray. To do this, three studies were undertaken. In the first, the effects of different feed powder microstructures on the energetic properties of cold sprayed material were explored. Cold sprayed materials were made and compared with pellets and loose powders with matching compositions. The cold sprayed samples were made using mixed Al and Ni powders as the feed material, or a powder composed of Al particles that had been coated with a Ni shell (Ni-clad Al). The materials were characterized by measuring the rate at which a reaction front propagated through the material, and the amount of heat released by the material, which was measured using differential scanning calorimetry. Results from this study showed that, in Ni-clad Al, the speed of the reaction front increased with material density and reached a maximum of 116 mm/s in the cold sprayed material. The material made with mixed Al and Ni powders showed the…

MODELING AND ANALYSIS OF REACTIVITY CONTROLLED COMPRESSION IGNITION (RCCI) COMBUSTION.

▼ Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) and Premixed Charge Compression Ignition (PCCI)
combustion strategies are promising methods for achieving low engine-out NOx and soot emissions as well as high indicated efficiency. However, these
combustion strategies have difficulties with controlling the rate of heat release and lack of an adequate
combustion phasing control mechanism. A dual-fuel Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI)
combustion strategy will address these issues due to the existence of precise means for controlling the heat release rate and
combustion phasing. In the RCCI strategy two fuels with different reactivity (auto-ignition characteristics, e.g., gasoline and diesel) are blended inside the
combustion chamber.
Combustion phasing is controlled by the relative ratios of these two fuels and the
combustion duration is controlled by the local equivalence ratio gradient between the two fuels. This thesis focuses on development of RCCI engine
combustion model and understanding the effects of key parameters controlling RCCI engine
combustion. This thesis includes three major modeling and analysis contributions.
In the first part, a computationally efficient modeling platform is developed and validated against the experimental data. The model is able to predict start of
combustion (SOC) with average error around 1 Crank Angle Degree (CAD). However, due to premixed nature of air-fuel mixture and considering the whole
combustion chamber as one uniform zone, the model over predicts peak in-cylinder pressure and therefore is not capable of predicting crank angle for 50 percent mass of fuel burned (CA50) and Burn Duration (BD). Proper operation of RCCI engines requires an in-depth understanding of the interactions between fluid flows, turbulent mixing and chemical kinetics. In the second part of this thesis, a detailed 3D/Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
combustion model in commercial CFD code called CONVERGE is developed and validated against experimental data. In-cylinder pressure trace,
combustion phasing and emissions (e.g., NOx, HC and CO) are shown to be in good agreement with experimental data for different operating conditions.
In the last part, the effects of fuel injection system parameters on the performance and emissions characteristics of an RCCI engine are discussed. The injection system parameters include Premixed Ratio (PR), injection pressure, Start of Injection (SOI) timing and
spray angle. The CFD model is then used to suggest an injection strategy capable of achieving optimized RCCI engine operation.

▼ This study examined the characteristics of electrosprays of 1-butanol that burn in air. Still images and high-speed movies captured with a laser sheet present helped to establish general flame phenomenology and features such as shape, size, and stability of the
spray flame. The dependence of the flame structure and stability on butanol flow rate and the applied voltage were examined. Mie-scattering-based droplet size measurements were performed in both reacting and non-reacting electrosprays. In general, a large peak in the distribution of droplet diameters centered between 40 and 50 micron was observed in the non-reacting case, with a second peak observed around 200 and 300 micron. With the flame present, a broader size distribution, still with a peak between at 40 and 50 micron, but with a larger proportion of 20 to 50 micron droplet diameters were seen. In addition, high-speed velocimetry measurements provided insight into the velocity of the droplets inside the burning
spray. Some droplets were observed not to vaporize completely and pass through the flame. Photographic evidence was acquired of droplet fission in the burning
spray. Charge transferred by the
spray was also measured and compared with the Rayleigh limit criterion for droplet fission. An analysis of the evaporation time, based on droplet size and velocity, was used in order to rationalize the results. Indeed, large droplets traveling with velocities observed in the high speed films could pass through the flame without completely evaporating. It was concluded that the electrosprays of bio-butanol could sustain flames stabilized with the assistance of electrostatics. Furthermore, these electrospray flames had characteristics substantially different from the
spray flames of non-charged fuels.

▼ The thesis considers computational modelling targeted at
spray and
combustion phenomena in diesel engines. Accurate predictions of these phenomena are needed to enable timely development of diesel engines having lower emissions and higher efficiency. However, the modelling required stands out as a grand challenge problem, involving coupled phenomena of high Weber number
spray, high Reynolds number turbulence, and complex multi-step kinetics, and having multiple
combustion modes and regimes occurring in a single flame.This thesis considers among the first attempts to model diesel
spray combustion with the transported probability density function (TPDF) method. The TPDF approach has significant potential to become a useful tool in the automotive industry and address the above challenges. The principal advantage of the TPDF method is that the nonlinear chemical source term appears in closed form, which is expected to be an advantage for the treatment of finite rate chemical processes such as ignition and pollutant formation. Furthermore, it does not require different modelling to be applied between different
combustion modes such as ignitions, premixed flames, and nonpremixed flames; and can also, in principle, treat both slow and fast chemistry limits. The TPDF method has been demonstrated, with considerable success, mostly for gaseous atmospheric pressure laboratory flames, but prior to this thesis, demonstration for
spray flames at practical diesel engine conditions has been lacking.In this thesis:• The TPDF model is demonstrated and validated against experimental
spray flame databases in ambient conditions representative of diesel engines - this being among the very first efforts to address this problem. The databases chosen were n-heptane and n-dodecane
spray flames in constant volume and constant flow chambers, which were available through an international collaboration known as the Engine
Combustion Network.• Choices for the sub-models involved are recommended, principally the molecular mixing and chemical kinetic models. Excellent results are demonstrated with the TPDF method given appropriate submodel choices.• The importance of considering interactions of turbulence and chemistry is assessed and found to be significant, particularly in less reactive conditions. This provides guidance on whether or not these interactions should be considered in modelling, and demonstrates how they affect modelling outcomes.• Basic physical and chemical characteristics of ignition and
combustion of diesel
spray flames are comprehensively investigated by a detailed analysis of the TPDF results. Several experimentally observed features are reproduced and/or explained, while other new features which have as yet not been observed experimentally are also noted.

▼ Ensuring reliable and clean
combustion performance of IC engines, such as liquid-fueled gas turbines, is associated to our understanding of the impact of fuel composition and properties, as well as the processes that the liquid fuel experiences, e.g., atomization, vaporization, turbulent mixing, and chemical kinetics, on the
combustion efficiency, stability, and emissions. This understanding is a key prerequisite to the development of fuel surrogates and the deployment of alternative jet fuels. Most of the surrogate formulation activities, especially with regard to aviation fuels, have targeted only the gas-phase behavior of the real fuels, often neglecting properties responsible for atomization, vaporization, and fuel/air mixing (i.e., physical properties). In addition, much research has been done to understand the flame stability (e.g., lean blowout limit and flame liftoff height) of gaseous and pre-vaporized fuels. Thus, the optimization of the fuels and the liquid fueled
combustion devices, e.g., gas turbines, requires the consideration of the two-phase process and the coupling between the complex physical and chemical processes. This will improve the understanding of the mechanisms that controls flame lean blowout limit and liftoff height of liquid fuels. Therefore, an appropriate surrogates will be formulated and a faster processes to certify the alternative fuels will be achieved. In this work, the flame stability in
spray burner, quantified by flame lean blowout liftoff height, for different single, binary, alternative, and conventional fuels were experimentally measured. The flame behavior from the
spray burner was compared to the results which was done using gaseous flame platform, e.g., counterflow flame burner, to clearly demonstrate the significant importance of two-phase
spray processes (i.e., atomization, vaporization, and turbulent mixing) on flame stability. It was found that the atomization process, which can lead to the variation of the droplet size and distribution, has significant impact on flame stability. This is because any change in the droplet size can enhance/diminish the vaporization and mixing processes, and therefore influence the clean and efficient energy conversion process. In addition, the sensitivity of the fuels properties on flame stability was evaluated to provide an explanation for why certain fuel properties govern flame stability, such as lean blowout and liftoff height. Thus, flame stability mechanisms can be developed. A number of approaches were used in this work to address these issues, such as multiple linear regression analysis, and previously developed correlations. The results indicate the importance of the atomization process (i.e. droplet size) on the vaporization rate and suggest that the liquid fuel fraction entering the flame plays a dominant role in controlling lean blowout limits. Thus, the large droplet and less volatile fuel was the most resistance fuel to flame blowout. The differences in liftoff height was shown to be a result of two-phase flame speed, which…

▼ This work concerned experimental studies of heat
transfer in a light-duty diesel engine. Combustion is affected by
several parameters, such as pressure, engine speed, mass of
injected fuel and in-cylinder gas flow. These parameters are in
turn affected by the combustion chamber geometry and fuel spray
characteristics. At high load the exhaust heat was increased more
than at high engine speed. Swirl was found to speed up the
combustion event and increased heat loss to the piston cooling, but
had no measurable effect on exhaust heat loss. Exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) diverts part of the exhaust gas and mixes it
with intake air. The recirculated gas acts as a heat sink and
reduces in-cylinder temperatures and thus, heat losses. The
air-fuel ratio is another important factor. More air resulted in
faster combustion while also increasing exhaust gas temperature.
Altering the combustion chamber geometry affected both in-cylinder
gas flow and mixing. A more open and shallow design was found to
redistribute heat losses from cooling media to exhaust. The
original injectors were proven to have a higher fuel flow than the
two other configurations, but faster combustion and less heat in
the exhaust was mainly found with the injectors with fewest holes.
Hot exhaust gases could be more useful than hot cooling media,
because that heat may be extracted and used to improve engine
efficiency. This reduces fuel consumption, and consequently
emissions of greenhouse gases, which contribute to global warming.
The world energy demand is still increasing, and more natural
resources are being used. Higher efficiency requires less fuel, and
thereby reduces the impact on environment and humanity. The work
was performed in a 4-cylinder light-duty diesel engine.
Temperatures and mass flow measurements were performed in cooling
media and exhaust gas. From these calculations were executed to
find out the heat fractions emitted to each medium. Two combustion
chamber geometries and three injectors were tested and compared
with respect to their impact on combustion and heat
losses.

▼ [ES] En los últimos años, las emisiones de hollín provenientes de los motores de combustión interna han recibido más atención debido al impacto negativo que éstas tienen no solo en el ambiente, sino también en la salud del ser humano. Como respuesta, leyes cada vez más estrictas han sido aplicadas impulsando así a la comunidad científica al desarrollo de motores más eficientes en el uso del combustible y por supuesto más limpios en términos de emisiones contaminantes. En este contexto, el modelado computacional ha sido la herramienta utilizada en numerosos esfuerzos que buscan contribuir a mejorar el entendimiento que se tiene sobre los altamente complejos fenómenos que componen el proceso de producción de hollín. El principal objetivo de esta tesis es simular la producción de hollín en chorros Diesel en condiciones de operación típicas de un motor de combustión interna utilizando CFD.
La consecución del objetivo de la tesis comprende una evaluación preliminar de la configuración de los distintos modelos para el caso de chorros inertes. En segundo lugar, el estudio detallado de la hipótesis utilizada para caracterizar la estructura de la llama a nivel sub-grid (tomando como base los conceptos well-mixed o flamelet) y del enfoque para tener en cuenta la interacción entre turbulencia y química. Por último, se presentan resultados del modelado de la combustión y producción de hollín para diferentes condiciones de contorno de reactividad y mezcla del chorro utilizando un modelo de hollín de dos ecuaciones.
En resumen, el lector encontrará a lo largo de este documento un estudio exhaustivo sobre la combustión y producción de hollín en chorros inyectados con toberas mono-orificio en ambientes quiescentes. De este tipo de chorros, el
Spray A y
Spray D de la Engine
Combustion Network son utilizados como casos de referencia.
