The paper deals with the simulation of a multi-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine for automotive applications, employing a one-dimensional approach with the aim of refining the turbocharger modelling during transient manoeuvres. The proposed methodology is able to handle stable compressor behaviour and also compressor surge. In addition, a waste-gate model is introduced to account for the instantaneous variation in the valve section as a result of the control signal, which is provided by the engine control unit, and the engine state. Preliminarily, the engine model is tuned against experimental data in terms of both the global performance parameters and the in-cylinder pressure cycles. The compressor performance is described through an ‘extended’ map obtained using a one-dimensional turbocharger model; in this way, a refined surge analysis can be performed, accounting for both direct flow compressor operations and reverse flow compressor operations. The one-dimensional model is applied to analyse different transient manoeuvres. First, the vehicle's maximum speed is predicted and compared with the manufacturer's data, during an acceleration manoeuvre. Then, a sudden part-to-full-load step is described with the aim of analysing in detail the turbo-lag. Finally, a full-to-part-transient manoeuvre is also analysed to verify the capability of the model to represent the compressor surge phenomenon. The numerical results provided in this work qualitatively reproduce the experimental observations available in the literature for transient operation of engines. Thus, the developed computational tool can be successfully used to support the design process and the transient analysis of turbocharged internal-combustion engines.
