In the engine development process, simulation and predictive programs have continuously gained in reliance. Due to the complexity of future internal combustion engines the applications of simulations programs towards a reliable 'virtual engine development' is a need that represents one of the greatest challenges. Marco Chiodi presents an innovative 3D-CFD-tool, exclusively dedicated and optimized for the simulation of internal combustion engines. Thanks to improved or newly developed 3D-CFD-models for the description of engine processes, this tool ensures an efficient and reliable calculation also by using course 3D-CFD-meshes. Based on this approach the CPU-time can be reduced up to a factor 100 in comparison to traditional 3D-CFD simulations. In addition an integrated and automatic 'evaluation tool' establishes a comprehensive analysis of the relevant engine parameters. Due to the capability of a reliable 'virtual development' of full-engines, this fast response 3D-CFD-tool makes a major contribution to the engine development process.

Marco Chiodi obtained his Ph.D. by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Bargende at the University of Stuttgart.
