This work is largely devoted to a review of existing works in the literature on single and multi-zone models of thermodynamic combustion in a diesel engine. It is found that numerical simulations of diesel engine operation based on thermodynamic models are of great interest in predicting engine performance and developing new concepts. Also, the advantages and disadvantages of the different models of a multi-zone are given. This study summarises several studies over several years of these thermodynamic models in use by presenting the different results. The limitations of the single-zone model led to the development of the multi-zone thermodynamic combustion model. This work therefore suggests a comprehensive study that takes into account the different models (kinetics, fuel flow, injection, heat transfer, etc.) to better appreciate the performance of the diesel engine. This will give a clear idea of how to develop new concepts for single-zone or multi-zone thermodynamic modelling that will help car manufacturers, for example.
