Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The temperature field distribution in the vehicle cabin has an important influence on the performance of the engine, electronic components and cooling system. Traditional simulation methods mostly use single physical field of heat conduction or fluid dynamics for analysis, which is difficult to fully reflect the complex multi-physical field coupling effect in the cabin. In the prior art, the main concern is single component or single physical field, and the coupling effect of multiple components and multiple physical fields in the cabin is not fully considered, resulting in insufficient simulation accuracy and difficulty in fully predicting the temperature distribution and thermal failure risk in the cabin. In the prior art, multi-physical field coupling simulation has been partially applied, but lacks real-time response capability for transient conditions, and model calibration relies on manual experience. In addition, the existing method does not combine machine learning technology to optimize parameters, resulting in low calculation efficiency and difficulty in adapting to complex dynamic environments.

The disadvantages of this method are: first, it does not involve multi-physical field coupling modeling method, which cannot accurately simulate the thermal solid flow and electric interaction effect in the cabin; second, it cannot realize automatic parameter calibration and high-efficiency model convergence; third, it does not have a cloud-edge collaborative architecture and does not support large-scale simulation and real-time early warning; fourth, the simulation coverage is limited and cannot perform real-time and rapid simulation on transient extreme conditions.
