Modelling of Dual-fuel combustion by Large Eddy Simulation

Economical, geopolitical and social trends, apart from the well-posed environmental concerns, are possible to precipitate legislative actions for the partial substitution of Diesel by cleaner fuels in the imminent future. Besides, the already stringiest emission legislation referring to Diesel engines, e.g.

Commande sans capteur de position des machines synchrones, application aux groupes motopropulseurs électrique

Permanent magnet synchronous machines are frequently used in transport electrification applications because of their high efficiency. The control of these machines requires knowing with precision the speed and the position of the rotor. Position sensors, habitually used, are efficient but present some inconvenient.

Acquisition de données optimale pour une calibration efficace des simulateurs réduisant les incertitudes de prédiction

In order to gain more insight into physical processes, IFPEN develops or uses a large number of numerical simulators. These numerical models are useful to reproduce phenomena in specific conditions and thus to predict and explore the system response under various conditions.

Lattice Boltzmann methods for wind energy applications: aero-elastic wind turbine modelling in an atmospheric boundary layer

Wind farm flows are complex and difficult to predict, although their understanding is crucial for proper wind farm design and layout optimization. During the design phase, so-called “engineering” flow models, whose purpose is to provide an analytical representation of wind turbine wakes, are used to estimate wind farm power production.

Développement d'un jumeau numérique multi-échelle d'un séparateur d'inclusions par flottation

La thèse vise à développer un jumeau numérique d’un séparateur liquide-inclusions (polluants) par flottation dans l’objectif d’optimiser les procédés de flottation industriels pour répondre aux enjeux liés au traitement des eaux, qui apparaît comme un besoin primordial dans un contexte de changement climatique.
