✦ Synopsis

In a practical application of a simulation to automotive design and development, computation to a high accuracy is needed, together with reduction of analysis labor. This paper describes our approach to a high accuracy estimation technique development, taking an example of temperature control characteristics, which is an important item in evaluation of air-conditioning performance. Key factors in the computation, such as basic analysis of air mix behavior and heat transfer model of heat exchangers, are described.
