 There exist two fundamental tools for modeling and simulating wave action of internal combustion engines. The first is a nonlinear time domain solution of the Euler equations using a space–time meshing. The second is a frequency domain solution of the linear wave equations. These two methods exist with a wide range of complexity and sophistication. Hybrid coupled methods also exist; they attempt to bridge the gap between the two techniques while maintaining the overall goal of engine simulation in mind. This work deals with the frequency characterization of a complex intake element, the charge air cooler. First, a transfer matrix for a simple tube is defined and measured. Two identical versions of the previous tube serve for identifying the transfer matrix of the charge air cooler directly on an operating four-cylinder turbocharged engine. Once the transfer matrix is measured, it is coupled to GT-Power as four transfer functions coded into Simulink. The final validation comprises two tubes in GT-Power with measured boundary conditions of pressure and mass flow with the Simulink model in between. Results are presented in the time and frequency domains with future objectives and perspectives as well. </jats:p
