A personal computer-based simulation package has been developed to design the powertrain system of passenger cars aiming to operate at optimal performance. This package is capable of dynamic simulation of road vehicle performance under transient acceleration conditions. The two methods are included: one is the traditional transient-reconstruction method using steady-state engine performance maps; the other is a dynamic simulation technique newly developed by the author. The latter described in this paper. It is based on cyclic analysis of the engine thermofluid-combustion phenomena with additional consideration of flow inertia, thermal inertia and mechanical inertia effects. This transient engine model plus a dynamic powertrain model and a transient road-load simulation make it possible to predict the automobile performance under road-driving conditions. Two examples of transient performance prediction, including a sudden full throttle acceleration at a fixed gear and a changing-gear starting acceleration from standstill, are demonstrated in this paper. These examples show that the relation between the engine speed and the road speed under accelerating conditions is very different to the steady-state relationships normally assumed.
