Engine Models

Engine models covering a wide range of existing and futuristic engine configurations have been generated, while the developed techniques allow the modeling of virtually any configuration. The engine models can be either generic or bespoke and can be adapted to specific design data and/or to specific operating envelope data and measurements. The engine models can be tailored to specific needs, thus providing great flexibility with respect to the engine features that are examined. In this context analysis tools are available for studying the effect of alternative fuels on engine performance and predict pollutant and noise emissions. Also specific components and elements like compressor, secondary air system etc. can be modeled in higher fidelity (zooming) thus providing a comprehensive analysis of engine features and engine design. The zooming feature developed allows the inclusion of multi-physics (e.g. water ingestion) in the engine model, while deterioration phenomena can be examined in detail. The models can be built either using the PROOSIS simulation environment, or the in-house code TEACHES.
