Engine Performance Optimization through Exhaust System Simulation and Testing

Abstract

In the race to optimize powertrain performances of tomorrow, engine developers are focusing their efforts in multiple areas. These areas include new combustion processes and exhaust systems. Faurecia Exhaust Systems is continually reassessing its development process to ensure the best alignment with customer project demands. One example would be new methods based on engine GT Power models for improving engine performance. Studies into the capability of applying results to functioning engines that utilize engine GT Power models coupled to the “Design of Experiments” (DoE) method. This is a valuable tool in an efficient exhaust development chain.
