Overview
Detailed (high temporal fidelity) IC Engine Model Inline 6 cylinder, atmospherically aspirated Seeking temperature/pressure/flow histories over a cam cycle as a
85x110x210 mm box, with 500mm long by 45mm diameter runners, with notional air filter losses
Exhaust manifold blended runners, 356mm long by 41.3mm diameter,
with a 305mm long 6-1 transition section
Exhaust pipe 3.05m long by 57.2mm diameter with notional muffler
and catalytic converter losses
Intake valve lift profile from 0 TDC

Simplifying Assumptions
Simplified Combustion Event Cylinder was a boundary condition, not a focus of the model Instant heating by 2200K over intake manifold temperature at 0 TDC
Cylinder Heat Transfer Convective and radiative heat transfer used, adjusted to yield roughly 1/3rd total loss to engine
block Piston Motion
Pure sinusoid was used Could easily apply more realistic motion given crank and rod lengths
Valve Flow Resistance Sharp annular gap assumed, modeled as an effective orifice Verified that within-cylinder axial fluid motions (e.g., knocking) could be neglected for this
model: the cylinder could be a single control volume Engine RPM
Prescribed as an input: no vehicle/load model used Manifolds
Coarse axial resolutions (L/D ~ 5) were used, with few additional irrecoverable losses. These could be easily modified based on an actual design.

Next Model:Turbocharged
Intake Modifications 150mm long by 50mm diameter intake runners 610mm long by 100mm diameter pipe as manifold
Waste Gate Details of servo line, dynamic stem motions etc. could have been included, but
were neglected since this is not the focus Proportional control valve, open at 2.2 bar (intake manifold), closed at 2.0 bar
Proportional control (vs. bang-bang) used for convenience: allows steady state solutions
Pop-off Valve Proportional control valve, open at 2.4 bar, closed at 2.2 bar
Intercooler Notional/place-holder, despite heat exchangers being a forté: this was not the
focus Achieved minimal cooling, had minimal flow resistance
5 Compressors and 6 Turbines were evaluated CompAero and TurbAero software (www.turb-aero.com) employed
695K, 324kPa inlet (total) 124kPa exit (static) 110% of est. power required
by compressor Design Summary:
Radial, 94mm blade tip diameter
Vaneless vaned compressors were also
evaluated
82% efficiency (T-S)

Turbocharger Dynamics
Rotational inertia (I) of whole turbocharger subsystem was estimated to be 7.68e-3 kg-m2
Notional friction (f) as a function of RPM Current net torque (Tnet) used to co-solve
1st order ODE:Tnet – f*w = I*dw/dt
Can also use in a sizing mode parametrically sweep w to find the balance point (zero net
torque)

System Network:Simplified Model
Replace engine with steady-flow, steady heating model based on averages of
detailed model as a function of RPM
Change focus from small to large time scale including steady state
Used to generate TC speed at balance point For use as an initial
condition in detailed model

Geometry (CAD/FDM/FEM) Model Development
Sinaps® is nongeometric SINDA/FLUINT models can be
created from CAD geometry too use any combination of:
lumped parameter (network) finite difference finite element
C&R Thermal Desktop®
FloCAD for fluid modeling Includes turbomachinery,
rotating passages (secondary flows)
RadCAD for radiation
CRTech SpaceClaim®
CAD import or generation healing, defeaturing, meshing

Conclusions
CRTech tools are applicable to: IC engine fuel/air system design studies Turbocharger design (including IC engine interactions)
at both short and long time scales
Basic models are available as starting points Possible Extensions
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) integration Waste gate control systems and detailed design Variable geometry turbines (VGT) Multiple turbochargers (parallel or series) In-system turbine and compressor design optimization
Requires development cooperation with meanline analysis software
