    The transient characteristics of an engine are one of the important evaluation indexes related to the operability of a vehicle. We have developed a diesel engine zero-dimensional combustion model that can calculate the engine combustion cycle in a short amount of time on the order of several seconds based on combustion simulation models that we have established. This paper presents a simulation technology that utilizes this zero-dimensional combustion analysis to accurately estimate the transient characteristics of an engine. The use of this simulation model allows an engine system to be optimized before the production of a prototype through the evaluation of various vehicle operating patterns, and therefore contributes to shorter vehicle development times.
