Full textSoot particles emitted by Diesel engines cause major public health issues. Car manufacturers need models able to predict soot number and size distribution to face the more and more stringent norms.In this context, a soot model based on a sectional description of the solid phase is proposed in this work. First, the type of approach is discussed on the base of state of the art of the current soot models. Then, the proposed model is described. At every location and time-step of the simulation, soot particles are split into sections depending on their size. Each section evolution is governed by: • a transport equation;• source terms representing its interaction with the gaseous phase (particle inception, condensation surface growth and oxidation);• source terms representing its interaction with other sections (condensation and coagulation).This soot model requires the knowledge of local and instantaneous concentrations of minor species involved in soot formation and evolution. The kinetic schemes including these species are composed of hundreds of species and thousands of reactions. It is not possible to use them in 3D-CFD simulations. Therefore, the tabulated approach VPTHC (Variable Pressure Tabulated Homogeneous Chemistry) has been proposed. This approach is based on the ADF approach (Approximated Diffusion Flame) which has been simplified in order to be coupled with the sectional soot model. First, this tabulated combustion model ability to reproduce detailed kinetic scheme prediction has been validated on variable pressure and mixture fraction homogeneous reactors designed for this purpose. Then, the models predictions have been compared to experimental measurement of soot yields and particle size distributions of Diesel engines. The validation database includes variations of injection duration, injection pressure and EGR rate performed with a commercial Diesel fuel as well as the surrogate used in simulations. The model predictions agree with the experiments for most cases. Finally, the model predictions have been compared on a more detailed and academical case with the Engine Combustion Network Spray A, a high pressure Diesel spray. This final experimental validation provides data to evaluate the model predictions in transient conditions

Full textDiesel 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)

Full textThe current interest regarding how to stop the global warming has put focus on the automobile industry and forced them to produce vehicles/engines that are more environmental friendly. This has led to the development of increasingly complex controlsystem of the engines. The introduction of common-rail systems in regular automotives increased the demand of physical models that in an accurate way can describe the complex cycle within the combustion chamber. With these models implemented it is possible to test new strategies on engine steering in a cost- and time efficient way.
The main purpose with this report is to, build our own model based on the existing theoretical models in diesel engine combustion. The model has then been evaluated in a simulation environment using Matlab/Simulink. The model that has been implemented is a multi-zone type and is able to handle multiple injections.
The model that this thesis results in can in a good way predict both pressure and torque generated in the cylinder. More investigation in how the parameter settings behave in other work-points must be done to enhance the models accuracy. There is also some work left to do in the validation of the model but to make this possible more experimental data must be accessible.

Full textIn this thesis, a CFD model was proposed to simulate the liquid combustion of conventional and non-conventional biodiesel fuels, in particularly the B20 biodiesel blend. The numerical test matrix consists of four reacting flow cases, and one non-reacting liquid fuel injection case. The models are computed using FLUENT™ v.14 in a 3D steady-state fashion. The turbulent non-premixed diffusion flames are modeled using the steady laminar flamelet approach; with a joint presumed Probability density function (PDF) distribution. Validation is achieved by comparing available experimental measurements with the obtained CFD results. Combustor aerodynamics and the outer wall temperatures are captured with a satisfactory degree of accuracy. Validation of the main combustion products, such as: CO2, H2O, and O2, shows satisfactory results for all the reacting flow cases; however, some inconsistencies were found for the CO emissions. It is believed that the test rig (combustor geometry and operating condition) is not sufficiently adequate for burning liquid fuels. On the other hand, from a numerical combustion point of view, the steady laminar flamelet approach was found not reasonably able to capture the deep non-equilibrium effects associated with the slow formation process of a pollutant, such as CO.

Full textCompression-ignition engines are widelyused, mainly due to their high thermal efficiency andconsequent low CO2 emissions compared to sparkignitionengines. However, this technology has somedisadvantages related to the limited control over autoignitionof the air-fuel mixtures and heat release rate.Hence, in compression-ignition engines at their mostbasic form, the level of combustion noise and emissionsof nitrogen oxides and particulate matter canbecome critical. An effective strategy to tackle theseproblems is to decompose fuel injection into multipleinjection pulses permitting an optimal control of theair-fuel mixture formation and, thus, of the autoignitiondelay and the heat release rate. Multiple injectionstrategies become more and more popular dueto their advantages over conventional single injectioncycles. The physical phenomena involved in suchconfigurations, however, are complex and their modellingremains challenging, especially in the context ofindustrial 3D simulation using the Reynolds-averagedNavier-Stokes (RANS) formalism. The progress ofcompression-ignition applications depends to a greatextent on the capacity of the physical models to predictheat release rate and pollutant emissions. Thelack ofa experimental results at the scale of interestorientated this study towards the use of Direct NumericalSimulation (DNS) providing a model-free insightinto the interaction between turbulent mixing and combustionchemistry. In the framework of this Ph.D. thesis,a DNS database was generated and analysed,covering a range of single and split Diesel injectionrelevantconditions. Then, different turbulent combustionmodels based on tabulated chemistry were evaluatedby comparison with the DNS results. Followingthis analysis, a new modelling approach adapted tomultiple injection configurations was elaborated. Finally,a strategy for the application of the new modellingapproach in 3D RANS was proposed for prospectivemulti-injection compression-ignition engine simulationswith an improved accuracy

Full textMore and more stringent restrictions concerning the pollutant emissions of Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) constitute a major challenge for the automotive industry. New combustion strategies such as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) and the implementation of complex injection strategies are promising solutions for achieving the imposed emission standards as they permit low NOx and soot emissions, via lean and highly diluted combustions, thus assuring low combustion temperatures. This requires the creation of numerical tools adapted to these new challenges. This Ph.D presents the development of a new 0D Diesel HCCI combustion model : the dual Combustion Model (dual−CM ). The dual-CM is based on the PCM-FPI approach used in 3D CFD, which allows to predict the characteristics of Auto-Ignition and Heat Release for all Diesel combustion modes. In order to adapt the PCM-FPI approach to a 0D formalism, a good description of the in-cylinder mixture is fundamental. Consequently, adapted models for liquid fuel evaporation, mixing zone formation and mixture fraction variance, which allow to have a detailed description of the local thermochemical properties of the mixture even in configurations adopting multiple injection strategies, are proposed. The results of the 0D model are compared in an initial step to the 3D CFD results. Then, the dual-CM is validated against a large experimental database; considering the good agreement with the experiments and low CPU costs, the presented approach is shown to be promising for global engine system simulations. Finally, the limits of the hypotheses made in the dual-CM are investigated and perspectives for future developments are proposed

Full textA diesel fuel injector has been modified to allow rotationaround its axis, driven by an electric motor. Injections at upto 6000 rpm from the rotating injector have been investigatedunder the influence of air swirl on one optical research engineand one optically accessible heavy-duty diesel engine.
The experiments show that changing from a normal, staticinjection to a sweeping injection has profound effects on sprayformation, dispersion and penetration. This influences thefuel/air-mixing, autoignition, combustion rate and emissionsformation. The spray propagation is stronger influenced byinjector rotation than by air swirl.
The air entrainment into the spray increases forcounter-swirl rotation of the injector and this speeds up thevaporization and decreases the formation of soot. In addition,the oxidation of soot is enhanced since the counter-swirlinjection forces the intense fuel-rich and soot containingspray core to penetrate into fresh air instead of replenishingthe rich regions in the head of the spray. Fuel accumulationalong the piston bowl wall decreases as an effect of thereduced penetration with counter-swirl injection. Altogether,this decreases the smoke emissions for low and intermediateengine loads.
For the combustion system studied, counter-swirl rotation ofthe injector cannot decrease the smoke emissions at high engineload since the reduced spray penetration impairs the airutilization. Fast and efficient combustion at high loadrequires spray induced flame spread out into the squish region.Spray induced flow of cool fresh air from the bottom of thepiston bowl in towards the injector is also important for lowsoot formation rates.
Co-swirl rotation of the injector reduces the airentrainment into the spray and increases the soot formation.The increased smoke and CO emissions with co-swirl injectionare also attributed to the excessively large fuel-rich regionsbuilt up against the piston bowl wall.
Increased air swirl generally reduces smoke and COemissions. This is mainly an effect of enhanced burnout due tomore intense mixing after the end of fuel injection.
Changes in smoke as an effect of injector rotation aregenerally accompanied with opposite, but relatively small,changes in NO. Fast and efficient burnout is important for lowsmoke emissions and this raises both the temperature andproduction of NO. NO production is strongly influenced by thein-cylinder conditions during the latter part of themixing-controlled combustion and in the beginning of theburnout.

Full textTo satisfy latest stringent emission regulations, important progress is still be expected from internal combustion engines. In addition, improving engine efficiency to reduce the emission and fuel consumption has become more essential than before. But many complex phenomena remain poorly understood in this field, such as the fuel injection process. Numerous software programs for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) considering phase change (such as cavitation) and injection modelling, have been developed and used successfully in the injection process. Nevertheless, there are few CFD codes able to simulate correctly transcritical conditions starting from a subcritical fuel temperature condition towards a supercritical mixture in the combustion chamber. Indeed, most of the existing models can simulate either single-phase flows possibly in supercritical condition or two-phase flows in subcritical condition; lacking therefore, a comprehensive model which can deal with transcritical condition including possible phase transition from subcritical to supercritical regimes, or from single-phase to two-phase flows, dynamically. This thesis aims at dealing with this challenge. For that, real fluid compressible two-phase flow models based on Eulerian-Eulerian approach with the consideration of phase equilibrium have been developed and discussed in the present work. More precisely, a fully compressible 6-equation model including liquid and gas phases balance equations solved separately; and a 4-equation model which solves the liquid and gas balance equations in mechanical and thermal equilibrium, are proposed in this manuscript. The Peng-Robinson equation of state (EoS) is selected to close both systems and to deal with the eventual phase change or phase transition. Particularly, a phase equilibrium solver has been developed and validated. Then, a series of 1D academic tests involving the evaporation and condensation phenomena performed under subcritical and supercritical conditions have been simulated and compared with available literature data and analytical results. Then the fully compressible two-phase flow models (6-Equation and 4-Equation systems) have been employed to simulate the cavitation phenomena in a real size 3D nozzle to investigate the effect of dissolved N2 on the inception and developing of cavitation. The good agreement with experimental data proves the solver can handle the complex phase change behavior in subcritical condition. Finally, the capability of the solver in dealing with the transcritical injection at high pressure and temperature conditions has been further validated through the successful modelling of the engine combustion network (ECN) Spray A injector

Este objectiu s'aconsegueix per mitjà de la simulació numèrica del doll amb models de turbulència RANS i LES usant un model de combustió avançat basat en el concepte flamelet. Per a este estudi, s'aplica una aproximació simplificada de les flamelets de difusió, conegudes a la literatura com Flamelets de Difusió Aproximades (ADF en anglés), com a fonament del model de combustió. En una primera etapa, el model es valida amb combustibles de diferent complexitat química en règims estacionaris i transitoris per al conjunt de possibles velocitats de deformació. Una vegada es confirma la seua idoneïtat per a condicions trobades en dolls dièsel, s'aplica a la simulació del doll A del Engine Combustion Network (ECN), representatiu de dolls dièsel. Per a proporcionar un cuadre complet dels fenòmens subjacents, la combustió s'analitza inicialment per a condicions homogènies i flames laminars per a les distintes condicions de contorn d'aquest experiment. Després esta anàlisi es complementa amb la simulació de diferents mecanismes químics per a determinar com les característiques de l'encesa predites per l'esquema d'oxidació afecten la propagació de flama. Els resultats obtinguts en esta etapa s'enllacen amb l'anàlisi del doll turbulent en el context de simulacions RANS i LES per a descriure com el fenomen de la combustió es modifica amb els diferents nivells de complexitat física. L'estructura del doll turbulent es descriu profundament per a les distintes condicions de contorn i mecanismes químics en termes de mescla i escalars reactius per a les fases temporals i les regions espacials de la flama. La satisfactòria concordança amb els resultats experimentals mostren que el concepte flamelet, i més particularment el model ADF, és adequat per a les simulacions de dolls dièsel.
[EN] The objective of this thesis is the investigation and analysis of the internal structure of diesel-like reacting sprays and the effect of boundary conditions on combustion related parameters. This objective is achieved by means of the numerical simulation of the spray with RANS and LES turbulence models using an advanced combustion model based on the flamelet concept. For this study, a simplified approach for diffusion flamelets, known in the literature as Approximated Diffusion Flamelet (ADF), is applied as the basis of the combustion model. In a first step, this model is validated for fuels with different chemical complexity in steady and transient regimes for the whole set of possible strain rates. Once its suitability is confirmed for conditions found in diesel sprays, it is applied to the simulation of spray A from the Engine Combustion Network (ECN), representative of diesel-like sprays. In order to provide a complete picture of the underlying phenomena, combustion is initially analysed in homogeneous conditions and laminar flames for the different boundary conditions of this experiment. Later, this analysis is complemented with the simulation of different chemical mechanisms in order to determine how the ignition characteristics predicted by the oxidation scheme affect to the flame propagation. The results obtained at this stage are connected with the analysis of the turbulent spray in the context of RANS and LES simulations as a way to track how combustion phenomenon is modified at the different levels of physical complexity. The turbulent spray structure is thoroughly described for the different boundary conditions and chemical schemes in terms of mixing and reactive variables for both temporal phases and spatial flame regions. The satisfactory agreement with experimental results shows that the flamelet concept, and more particularly the ADF model, is suitable for diesel-like sprays simulations.

Full text[CA] Les noves regulacions en matèria d'emissions d'efecte d'hivernacle i qualitat de l'aire han conduït la evolució tecnològica dels motors de combustió interna durant els darrers anys. Les millores en el procés de la combustió, la sobrealimentació, la gestió tèrmica, els sistemes de postractament i tècniques com la recirculació de gasos d'escapament, han permès que els motors de combustió interna d'avui dia siguen cada vegada més nets. L'adopció a Europa del nou cicle d'homologació WLTP, que considera un cicle de conducció més realista que el seu predecessor el NEDC, així com la necessitat d'avaluar les emissions de gasos contaminants en diferents escenaris de temperatura ambient i humitat, suposen un repte per als fabricants a l'hora de dissenyar i optimitzar els seus motors. En aquest context, el modelatge unidimensional del motor ofereix la possibilitat de desenvolupar i provar diferents solucions amb la suficient precisió, al mateix temps que agilitza el procés de disseny del motor i reduïx els costos derivats d'aquest. L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi és el de desenvolupar un model complete de motor virtual que permeta simular condicions transitòries de règim de gir i grau de càrrega, així com diferents condicions ambientals de pressió i temperatura. Amb aquest model de motor es pretén predir les principals variables termo-fluidodinàmiques en diferents punts del motor i les emissions contaminants alliberades en l'escapament. Per altra banda, l'arrancada en fred i el funcionament a baixes temperatures están associats a un major consum, majors emissions d'hidrocarburs (HC) i monòxid de carboni (CO), així com majors emissions d'òxids de nitrògen (NOx) degudes a la desactivació dels sistemes de recirculació de gasos d'escapament. Per a pal·liar aquestos efectes indesitjats, una opció és aconseguir que el sistema de postractament arribe a la seua temperatura d'activació el més prompte possible. En aquest treball, aquest objectiu s'aborda mitjançant dues solucions. Per una banda, s'ha investigat la possibilitat d'augmentar la temperatura dels gasos en l'escapament per mitjà d'un sistema de distribució variable. Amb aquest mètode s'ha aconseguit reduïr les emissions de CO i HC al voltant d'un 40-50 % i les emissions de NOx fins a un 15 % durant la primera fase del cicle WLTC, acosta d'una penalització en el consum de combustible. Per altra banda, també s'ha estudiat la possibilitat d'aïllar tèrmicament el sistema d'escapament. En aquest cas, és possible reduir les emissions de CO i HC vora un 30 % sense millorar les de NOx .
[EN] The new regulations regarding greenhouse emissions and air quality have led the technological progress of the internal combustion engines during the recent years. Improvements in the combustion process, turbocharging, thermal management, after-treatment systems and techniques such as the exhaust gases recirculation, have resulted in cleaner internal combustion engines. The adoption of the new type approval test in Europe, so-called WLTP, which represents a more realistic driving cycle than its forerunner the NEDC, as well as the need to evaluate pollutant emissions at different conditions of ambient temperature and altitude, represent a challenge for manufacturers when it comes to design and optimise their engines. In this context, one-dimensional engine models offer the possibility to develop and test different solutions with enough accuracy, while hastening the engine design process and reducing its costs. The main objective of this thesis is to develop a complete virtual engine model able to simulate transient conditions of engine speed and load, as well as different ambient conditions of pressure and temperature. The engine model is used to predict the main thermo-and fluid dynamic variables at different engine locations and the tailpipe pollutant emissions. Furthermore, engine cold start and its operation at low temperature is associated to a greater fuel consumption, hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions; as well as more nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions due to the deactivation of the exhaust gases recirculation systems. A solution to mitigate these negative effects is to heat up the after-treatment system so as to achieve its activation temperature as soon as possible. In the work presented, this goal is addressed through two different standpoints. On the one hand, variable valve timing systems have been studied as a way to increase the exhaust gases temperature. With this option it is possible to reduce CO and HC emissions by 40-50 % and NOx emissions by 15 % during the first stage of the WLTC cycle, at the expense of a penalty in the fuel consumption. On the other hand, the thermal insulation of the exhaust system has also been studied with the same objective. In this case, it is possible to reduce CO and HC emissions by 30 %, while not improving NOx ones.

Full textDiesel 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)

[EN] Over the past few years, soot emissions from internal combustion engines have gained attention due to its impact on the environment and human health. In response, ever-stricter legislation has been enforced driving the research community toward more fuel-efficient and cleaner engines. Within this context, soot modeling has been the subject of many efforts seeking to contribute to the understanding of the highly complex phenomena that composes the soot production process. This thesis main objective aims at simulating soot production in Diesel sprays under engine-like conditions using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The fulfillment of the thesis main objective entails a preliminary assessment of the inert spray computational setup for validation purposes. Then, a detailed study on the sub-grid flame structure and handling of turbulence-chemistry interaction is reported focusing on well-mixed and flamelet assumptions. Lastly, the study of reactivity and mixing boundary condition variations on combustion and soot production are assessed with a two-equation soot model. In summary, throughout this document the reader will find a comprehensive study of combustion and soot modeling in single-hole nozzle sprays in quiescent environments from which the Spray A and Spray D target conditions from the Engine Combustion Network are the main reference cases.

The present study firstly applies the group combustion theory to elaborate the investigation on the combustion modal structures and the calculations of the global Chiu number associated with the engine performance and emission production in the DI diesel engine combustion. KIVA 3V (Rel.2) has been selected as the numerical code and updated with the state-of-art physical models including the Shell ignition model, the KH-RT competing spray breakup model, droplet ignition criteria, and renormalized droplet laws. The numerical simulation with updated KIVA 3V (Rel.2) has been performed to validate its applicable feasibility for combustion modeling in the DI diesel engine. The results show in good agreements with predictions of in-cylinder pressure distribution and heat release rate in comparison with experimental data in Caterpillar DI diesel engine and the reasonable prediction of spray penetration distance in Cummins DI diesel engine. Global Chiu number defined in this study is regarded as the measure of droplet group tightness under the aerothermalchemical environment. Evolution of combustion modal structures associated with global Chiu number in diesel spray combustion has been achieved to assess the dynamic G-valued characteristics and transience. Three major scenarios, characterized by two characteristic points: pre-ignition (θ_ig) and post-ignition (θ_DF), include the pre-ignition, ignition transience and post-ignition combustion, which exhibit the overall complexities in the DI diesel engines. The ignition transience featured by sudden G-valued transition from pre-ignition point (qig) to post-ignition point (θ_DF), is regarded as the unique group combustion phenomena in the DI diesel engine. Before the post-ignition point, the excitation, transition and co-existence of both internal and external group combustion modes in the present prediction are represented as the so-called anomalous group combustion phenomenon. And after the post-ignition point (θ_DF), the post-ignition combustion is classified into the normal group combustion. According to the locus of θ_ig in the parametric study, the θ_ig bandwidth is defined to identify the proper design margin for DI diesel engine and two limiting boundaries are introduced to limit the dynamic G-valued trend for optimized and tradeoff design in system performance and emission production. With the two limits and the θ_ig bandwidth, the design margin for pre-ignition point (θ_ig) is constructed to establish the optimized and tradeoff design margin for DI diesel engines. The G value for post-ignition combustion stage is also suggested to fall around the critical value G^*=1.0 for transition between external and internal group combustion modes and the better overall system performance will exhibit with the compromising emission production. In summary, the dynamic transience of the G-valued degeneration and variation in the diesel spray evolution against the crank angle is crucial to determine the engine performance and emission production in the design of modern DI diesel engine. The suggestions for the future research are also outlined to establish the cluster statistical theory with group combustion modal transition and declusterization.

Full text[ES] Los retos actuales en la investigación y desarrollo de trenes de potencia demandan nuevas herramientas computacionales capaces de simular el funcionamento de un vehículo en condiciones muy diversas. Esto se debe, entre otras razones, a que los nuevos estándares de homologación en el sector de la automoción obligan al cumplimiento de las regulaciones de emisiones en cualquier condición posible de conducción en carretera. Los modelos globales de motor o de vehículo proporcionan muchas ventajas a los ingenieros porque permiten reproducir el sistema entero a estudiar, considerando los procesos físicos que tienen lugar en los distintos componentes y las interacciones entre ellos. Esta tesis pretende hacer posible el modelado de los procesos de transmisión de calor en una completa herramienta de simulación de motor desarrollada en el instituto de investigación CMT-Motores Térmicos. Esta herramienta de simulación 0D/1D se denomina Motor Virtual o Virtual Engine Model (VEMOD). El desarrollo de modelos de transmisión de calor comprende el bloque motor y los sistemas auxiliares. El modelo de transmisión de calor en el bloque motor aborda el problema central de la convección en el interior del cilindro mediante una combinación de investigación experimental, simulación CFD y modelado 0D multizona. El resto de procesos térmicos presentes en el bloque motor son examinados para poder implementar submodelos adecuados. Una vez el modelo está terminado, se realiza una validación con ensayos experimentales en régimen transitorio. A continuación, el foco de atención pasa a los sistemas auxiliares de gestión térmica. Estos sistemas se toman en consideración por medio de dos nuevos modelos: un modelo de intercambiadores de calor y un modelo de circuitos termohidráulicos. El desarrollo de los modelos se explica en detalle en esta tesis. Por último, con los citados modelos integrados en el Motor Virtual, se lleva a cabo un estudio de validación. El objectivo es validar la capacidad del Motor Virtual para reproducir la respuesta térmica de un motor real en varias condiciones de funcionamento. Para conseguirlo, se realiza una campaña experimental que combina ensayos en régimen estacionario, en régimen transitorio y a diferentes temperaturas, en paralelo a la campaña de simulación correspondiente. La capacidad de las simulaciones globales de motor para replicar la evolución térmica medida experimentalmente queda finalmente demostrada.

Find full textStringent regulatory requirements and modern diesel engine technologies have engaged automotive manufacturers and researchers in accurately predicting and controlling diesel engine-out emissions. As a result, engine control systems have become more complex and opaquer, increasing the development time and costs. To address this challenge, Model-based control methods are an effective way to deal with the criticality of the system study and controls. And physics-based combustion engine modeling is a key to achieve it. This thesis focuses on development and validation of a physics-based model for both engine and emissions using model-based design tools from MATLAB & Simulink. Engine model equipped with exhaust gas circulation and variable geometry turbine is adopted from the previously done work which was then integrated with the combustion and emission model that predicts the heat release rates and NOx emission from engine. Combustion model is designed based on the mass fraction burnt from CA10 to CA90 and then NOx predicted using the extended Zeldovich mechanism. The engine models are tuned for both steady state and dynamics test points to account for engine operating range from the performance data. Various engine and combustion parameters are estimated using parameter estimation toolbox from MATLAB and Simulink by applying least squared solver to minimize the error between measured and estimated variables. This model is validated against the virtual engine model developed in GT-power for Cummins 6.7L turbo diesel engine. To account the harmonization of the testing cycles to save engine development time globally, a world harmonized stationary cycle (WHSC) is used for the validation. Sub-systems are validated individually as well as in loop with a complete model for WHSC. Engine model validation showed promising accuracy of more than 88.4 percent in average for the desired parameters required for the NOx prediction. NOx estimation is accurate for the cycle except warm up and cool down phase. However, NOx prediction during these phases is limited due to actual NOx measured data for tuning the model for real time NOx estimation. Results are summarized at the end to compare the trend of NOx estimation from the developed combustion and emission model to show the accuracy of in-cylinder parameters and required for the NOx estimation.
