Exhaust gas aftertreatment simulation suite

The challenge: Emission regulations are becoming increasingly stringent and difficult to meet. Development cycles are
getting shorter and budgets are reduced while reliability and efficiency have to be ensured.
The solution: Utilizing the industries most advanced development tools combined with the expertise and experience of
our skilled engineers enables delivering solutions that satisfy both standards and constraints

AVL offers a comprehensive portfolio of Vehicle control strategies

thermo-chemical simulation models
Concept definition
AVL BOOST: 1D fluid and thermo-chemistry;
Fast and easy
• Kinetics parameter identification
• Prediction of light off and conversion efficiency
• Soot loading and regeneration strategies
• Brick volume, catalytic coating, urea dosing’
Investigation on component level
AVL FIRE: 3D CFD; Detailed design assessment
• Influence of flow uniformity on catalytic reactions,
soot loading and regeneration
• Urea injection and mixing strategies, gas phase and
catalytic reactions
• Thermal load on monolith, housing and pipes
AVL CRUISE M: Multi-physics system simulation
• Realtime Engine, Drivetrain and Flow system simula-
tion to predict vehicle emissions during driving cycles
• Aftertreatment control strategies combined with other
control strategies e.g in HEV concepts
• Assessment of complete vehicle system and driver
behavior influence on aftertreatment system perfor-
mance
Effective testing
The use of simulation tools reduces the number of pro-
totypes required. Multiple load points and applications
are investigated and endurance testing is performed.
Testing tools used by our engineers are:
• AVL CAMEO
• AVL SESAM FTIR
• AVL PLUreaTM
AVL’s simulation suite can be applied
throughout the entire development process
• Concept study and design layout
• Calibration and control development
• Issue resolution as DPF cracking, catalyst
deactivation, urea crystallization, performance
degradation
• System integration taking into account influence of
complete vehicle and real-world environment
