This paper presents the techniques and results from three underbonnet thermal management tools when used together. The objective of this work was to investigate the extent to which simulation tools could be used to assist with thermal management engineering. The idea was to optimise the potential of CFD, one-dimensional cooling system and engine modelling simulation techniques to predict the underbonnet thermal environment by passing the results from each simulation tool into the other tools as input boundary conditions. The CFD model included the solid regions for all the main components of the vehicle to allow for a full thermal analysis. The simulation results compared very well with the validation data provided by Jaguar Cars. The goal of this work was to develop an integrated underbonnet thermal management design analysis technique, which would enable engineers to achieve their goals of shortening development times, improving engineering integrity and saving costs.
