Maftei, C., Moreira, L. and Guedes Soares, C. (2009), “Simulation of the Dynamics of a Marine Diesel Engine”, Journal Maritime Engineering and Technology, Vol. Part A, Issue A.15, pp. 29-43

This paper presents a simulation model of a turbocharged 4 stroke diesel engine with eight cylinders in transient conditions, attached to a propulsion system. Having an engine model that is accurate but not complicated is desirable when working with on-board diagnosis or engine control. The model presented here is relative simple, but sufficiently precise to be able to describe the behaviour of a complete propulsion plant giving as outputs values the time histories of all the variables considered.
