Semi-physical NOx and soot model for CI engines: Study of its calibration procedure and portability

Abstract

A series of papers has previously presented a semi-physical model for NOx and soot emissions prediction for diesel engines. In this paper, the work is continued with an original analysis of the model’s capacity to be ported to a new engine and a sensitivity analysis of the number of training points required to obtain the desired accuracy. These two aspects are rarely developed in similar studies.
