In this paper an improved numerical procedure [1] to calculate the gas dynamics within an automotive engine using hybrid 1D/3D models is presented. The hybrid models are solved using a coupled calculation of a 1D-finite differencing-code and a 3D-finite volume-code. The overall methodology is reviewed, emphasising new improvements to the averaging procedure. A simply method for the boundary velocity profile initialisation is discussed. Computational results from a hybrid model of a V6 TDI engine are discussed and compared to pressure measurements for three engine speeds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
