Construction of digital twin model of engine in-cylinder combustion based on data-driven

Optimizing the combustion process by predicting combustion parameters during prolonged engine operation is crucial for engine maintenance. This study presents a zero-dimensional (0-D) prediction model that integrates the advantages of model-driven and data-driven approaches. Initially, the snake optimization algorithm (SO) is employed to address the challenges related to low parameter fitting accuracy and multiple solutions in calculating Wiebe parameters. Subsequently, a convolutional neural network-bidirectional long short-term memory neural network (CNN–Bi-LSTM) is devised to establish a nonlinear correlation between operating parameters and Wiebe parameters. The structural parameters of CNN–Bi-LSTM are then optimized using the SO algorithm (SO–CNN–Bi-LSTM). Ultimately, a 0-D prediction combustion model is formulated by amalgamating the Wiebe function with the neural network, enabling real-time prediction of combustion results and generalization analysis of prediction performance under non-calibrated conditions. The findings demonstrate that the combustion model exhibits heightened accuracy, thereby establishing a robust technical foundation for the development of a digital twin in the engine combustion process.
