Performance simulation of marine diesel engines with SELENDIA

This paper describes a diesel engine simulation code, named SELENDIA, joint ly developed by Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France, and the University of New Orleans. The adopted models for steady-state and transient response simula tion are briefly introduced in addition to various validation results. The capabilities of the code are illustrated by a study regarding the transient response of a sequentially turbocharged marine diesel engine as well as th e simulation of engine performance under extreme conditions and the investi gation of engine pollutant emissions.
