Book excerpt: The thesis subject is located in the domain of numerical simulation of turbulent combustion through tabulated chemistry methods. These methods allow to include detailed chemistry effects at low cost in numerical simulation by approximating the fine scales structure of turbulent flames. Prediction of temperature and chemical species including pollutants becomes then possible. Tabulated chemistry models were first dedicated to low Mach-number RANS approaches for "conventional" combustion applications. However, the current uprising of new combustion configurations and of more precise numerical modeling than RANS approach requires to widen these range of applications. For that purpose, this thesis led to the development of new tabulated chemistry models. Flameless combustion is one of these new combustion technology that requires dedicated models. Indeed, complex flame structures are encountered in this combustion mode. That is why a tabulated chemistry model called UTaC (Unsteady flamelets Tabulated Chemistry) is derived to simulate high temperature diluted combustion which characterizes flameless combustion. The model lies on the tabulation of laminar unsteady non-premixed flamelets that auto-ignite. Heat losses and variation of dilution with burnt gases are neglected in the topic of this thesis for brevity and simplification of the model validation. The investigated configuration is a fuel jet diluted in a vitiated coflow. The hot coflow promotes auto-ignition in the lifted flame stabilization mechanism. Several RANS computations are performed by changing the fuel composition. Finally, a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is also realized using a methane/air mixture as the impinging fuel stream. Several numerical codes for LES use a fully compressible formulation of Navier-Stokes equations. However, tabulated chemistry techniques do not take into account acoustic perturbations. A model called TTC (Tabulated Thermo-chemistry for Compressible flows) formalism is therefore developed in order to include tabulated chemistry in compressible CFD codes. TTC formalism consists in reformulating both temperature computation inside the numerical code and the characteristic boundary treatment. Finally, application of tabulated chemistry model to LES is usually done by a straightforward derivation from its RANS version without taking into account LES requirements. Indeed, ß-probability density functions which accounts for turbulence-chemistry interaction in RANS are used in LES although this technique does not conserve the source terms integral in premixed flames. A new model, F-TACLES (Filtered Tabulated Chemistry for Large Eddy Simulation), is then derived specifically for LES of perfectly premixed combustion. This model is based on filtering of 1D laminar premixed flamelets.
