However, software architecture is subject to a continuous shift of requirements and boundary conditions. At the same time, process standards ensure necessary quality but also cause a dramatic increase of the SW development effort. There exists a methodical gap between process and market requirements on one hand and reusable standardized software functions with a high quality on the other. In this paper, an approach is presented that aims for the continuous extension of powertrain control software with increasing quality based on existing boundary conditions and a consequent methodical extension of existing technical concepts. We address this by the development of a sustainable software architecture which enables the safeguarding of consistent design principles and thus higher development efficiency. Moreover, it opens the door to a comprehensive quality assurance concept based on the agile software development principle Continuous Integration. Finally, the feasibility of this approach and software quality assessment results are shown by the application for a gasoline engine in the vehicle.展开更多

However, the measurement of droplet velocities in the dense region of Diesel sprays is very difficult or impossible by means of widely used laser diagnostic techniques, in particular under engine-like high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. The limitations of phase Doppler anemometry （PDA） and particle image velocimetry （PIV） prevent the application to the ultra-dense region of the spray. It was demonstrated that these problems can be greatly reduced by the laser flow tagging （LFT） technique. It was also demonstrated recently that LFT measurements can be conducted in clustered Diesel jets with improved spatial resolution and increased number of simultaneous measurements in the near-nozzle region. In the present work, the nozzle design, the temperature and pressure of the ambient air, and the fuel rail pressure are varied, in order to investigate the influence on the near-nozzle jet velocity and the underlying physical mechanisms.展开更多
