Representation Limits of Mean Value Engine Models

摘要

Mean Value Engine Models (MVEMs) have been widely used for internal combustion engine modelling with main application areas on the design and development of engine control systems. However, modellers must be aware of the limitations of these MVEMs which are associated to the simplification of the geometry and the time scale, and the partial consideration of the physical phenomena involved. This chapter analyses through several real-life examples the effects of some of the most important simplifications done in MVEMs.
