Abstract 
Computer simulation has become an important part of the 
development of new automotive engines. A model of the engine which can 
be simulated online may be used for model based control and diagnosis. 
An effective control system and reliable diagnosis can lower both 
fuel consumption and emissions. 
Measurements made on a SAAB 2.3 
litres turbo charged spark ignited engine are the base of the 
simulation model. To enable physical modeling, the 
engine is divided into subsystems. The pressures in the subsystems and 
the angular speed of the turbine shaft are central properties that are 
modeled dynamically. In addition to these models, static models of 
e.g. temperatures and mass flow are developed. A combination of 
physical modeling and black box modeling has been used to establish 
the models of the subsystems. 
The equations of every subsystem are implemented as blocks in 
Simulink and the blocks are then connected to obtain a complete 
simulation model. The results from the simulations are compared with 
data from the 
measurements. The dynamic models agree well with measured 
data. The static models do also give acceptable results in most cases, 
but some of them have to be developed further to make the model useful 
for predictive purposes. 
Some suggestions for further development and interesting applications 
of the model are also given.
