Title: Method for gradual deformation of a  boolean simulation model of a heterogeneous medium constrained by dynamic data
Inventor: LE RAVALEC-DUPIN MICKAELE
IPC: G01V99/00
Filed: 2004-07-07
Abstract: At each iteration a combined version is obtained by combining an initial version of N1(t) objects corresponding to a first mean value and a second independent version of the same model of N2(t) objects corresponding to a second means value. This combination is such that the number N(t) of objects has a value equal to the sum of the first and second mean values N1(t) and N2(t) : An iterative optimization process is carried out from versions each including the objects of which the number is pulled from a random Poisson variable by defined means, and an objective function measuring the space between the real and simulated dynamic data from a simulator is minimized by adjusting the combination coefficients. The iterative adjustment process is followed until an optimal version is obtained for the stochastic model. At each iteration, for a same mean value of the combination, the first and second mean values are varied in a concomitant way to vary the number of objects from each combined version gradually. The size of the objects is associated with the process for generation of the number of objects in such a way as to make an object appear or disappear progressively. The number N(t) of objects in the combination of mean lambda is related to the number of respective objects Ni(i=1.n) of the combined versions by the formula N(t){lambda } = S(i=1)n (Ni{ai(t)lambda }) with S(i=1)n (ai=1) and alpha i(t)lambda is the mean of the variable Ni at the moment of the combination. For a combination implying only two versions, trigonometric functions are chosen for the coefficients a1, a2 such as alpha 1 = cos 2>(t) and alpha 2 = sin 2>(t).

Abstract: A power unit for a vehicle, such as an automobile, includes an internal combustion engine 1 as a prime mover for the vehicle, a generator 3, and a Stirling engine 4 for driving the generator 3. The Stirling engine 4 uses the exhaust gas discharged by the internal combustion engine 1 as a high-temperature heat source. Power generated by the generator 3 is supplied to an electric motor 2 for driving auxiliary machines 7, 8 and 9, and to a battery 5 for supplying power to the electric motor 2. The engine speed of the Stirling engine 4 is controlled through the control of the load on the generator 3 by a field regulator 15. An optimum engine speed of the Stirling engine 4 is determined such that the brake horsepower of the Stirling engine 4 increases to a maximum or substantially maximum brake horsepower. The fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine 1 as the prime mover that produces waste heat as a high-temperature heat source for the Stirling engine 4 is reduced, and the auxiliary machines are driven so as to fully exercise their functions even in a state where the brake horsepower of the Stirling engine 4 is low.
