Increasing power requirements along with weight and space constrains requires implementation of more intelligent thermal management systems. The design and development of such systems can only be possible with a thorough understanding of component and system level thermal loads. The present work implements 1-D and 3-D unsteady CFD based simulation tools in a military ground vehicle design process. Both powertrain cooling and HVAC systems are simulated in various operating conditions on a HPC Computer Cluster using multiple fidelity tools. HVAC system variables are optimized with gradient based optimization libraries. The simulation results are compared and validated with experimental tests.
► Powertrain cooling and cabin thermal management are investigated.
► Hybrid diesel electric powertrain and HVAC models are created.
► 1D and 3D simulations are utilized in high performance computing environment.
► Simulation results are compared with experiments.
► The model parameters are optimized with gradient based optimization libraries.
