Course detail

Calculation Models

FSI-QMOAcad. year: 2010/2011

The subject should serve as an introduction of the most important current calculation models used in the development of state-of-the-art combustion engines and vehicles to the students. The emphasis is laid upon the mathematical and physical foundations of calculation models and the respective software as well as the verification of results of the computer modelling by way of appropriate experimental methods. Conversion of volume models to 3-D models having carrier beams and point elements. Non-stationary loaded slide bearings in combustion engines, dynamic models. Computer models of power train mechanisms. Computer models of real working cycles of combustion engines. Thermodynamic analysis of an indicator diagram. Multidimensional models of combustion within the cylinder.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The course-unit credit requirements:
The orientation at physical fundamentals of presented problems and the knowledge of practical solving methods , leading to to individual work especially on a diploma thesis and in engineering practice after completing studies. The ability to solve problems using computer technology and necessary advanced software equipment. Students have to individually elaborate assigned tasks without significant mistakes. Together with evaluating them the continuous study checking is carried out.

Examination:
The course is concluded by a final test, as well as oral discussion .

Final evaluation consists of:
1. Evaluation of the individual work on seminars (individually elaborated tasks).
2. The results of written and oral parts of the exam.
