An advanced turbocharger simulation method for engine cycle simulation was developed on the basis of the compressor two-zone flow model and the turbine mean-line flow model. The method can be used for turbocharger and engine integrated design without turbocharger test maps. The sensitivities of the simulation model parameters on turbocharger simulation were analysed to determine the key modelling parameters. The simulation method was validated against turbocharger test data. Results show that the methods can predict the turbocharger performance with a good accuracy, less than 5 per cent error in general for both the compressor and the turbine. In comparison with the map-based extrapolation methods commonly used in engine cycle simulation tools such as GT-POWER®, the turbocharger simulation method showed significant improvement in predictive accuracy to simulate the turbocharger performance, especially in low-flow and low-operating-speed conditions.

The sensitivity of engine performance to gas-dynamic phenomena in the exhaust system has been known for around 100 years but is still relatively poorly understood. The nonlinearity of the wave-propagation behaviour renders simple empirical approaches ineffective, even in a single-cylinder engine. The adoption of analytical tools such as engine-cycle-simulation codes has enabled greater understanding of the tuning mechanisms but for multi-cylinder engines has required the development of accurate models for pipe junctions. The present work examines the propagation of pressure waves through pipe junctions using shock-tube rigs in order to validate a computational model. Following this the effects of exhaust-system gas dynamics on engine performance are discussed using the results from an engine-cycle-simulation program based on the equations of one-dimensional compressible fluid flow.
