A reduced order pseudochannel model accounting for flow maldistribution in automotive catalysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Exhaust aftertreatment systems (EATS) play a critical role in reducing emissions and ensuring compliance with stringent emission regulations. Catalytic converters, as part of EATS, involve complex physico-chemical processes. To accurately predict their behavior in realistic geometries, transient 3D models are necessary. However, the computational cost associated with simulations based on such models prevents their application to long-time behaviors as well as in real-time control and diagnostics. While single-channel models (SCMs) are computationally efficient, they struggle to provide accurate predictions during real-time operations with flow maldistribution. In this study, we propose a pseudochannel model derived using steady-state reactive 3D simulations and a nonlinear least squares optimization technique. We show that the performance of this pseudochannel model is superior to a conventional SCM in both transient and steady state test cases. At the same time, the computational cost of the pseudochannel model is equivalent to that of the SCM. These results imply that flow maldistribution effects can be well incorporated in SCMs via a pseudochannel approach that relies on relatively inexpensive steady-state system data.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
