Acoustic examples for plotting engine orders, source characterization and calculating
insertion loss have been added.
Convergence Control Channels
CRQ_110709
Convergence control now uses all channels from "databus.xml".

model by means of User Defined Parameter: 6ZONE_HCCI_NONUNIFORMSPCDST
NONUNIFORMSPCDST*1 to NONUNIFORMSPCDST*6
6ZONE_HCCI_EVAPORATIONDISTR EVAPORATIONDISTR*1 to

Actuator for Ignition Delay Constant Aid has been added.
Result name translation is provided in the AVL\BOOST\<version>\files\ppdw.xin file
CRQ_101932
GIDAS files are not really designed for direct user access. Even so result name translation
is provide in the AVL\BOOST\<version>\files\ppdw.xin file. Further details on how the
results are calculated are provided in the BOOST Users Guide Chapter 5. BOOST Postprocessing
Tsuboi Wagner Knock model (Gas Engine)
CRQ_131370
Tsuboi Wagner Knock model (Gas Engine) is now available for Classic/General Species
Transport using a Formula Interpreter Implementation.

1.3. Aftertreatment
1.3.1. Enhancements
Aftertreatment summary file accessible via BOOST GUI
CRQ_115871
The BOOST AT kernel writes in addition to the already existing ASCII summary file a new
xml summary file. The existing button and the menu option that displays the AT summary
file are re-worked, so that a browser (firefox, ...) is opened displaying the new xml
summary. With environment variable AWS_HTML_BROWSER user can specify which
browser will be used. Possible choices are: firefox, opera, netscape, iexplore. So if you want
Firefox variable needs to be in Windows or Linux environment:
AWS_HTML_BROWSER=firefox (Windows environment variable) or set
AWS_HTML_BROWSER=firefox (Windows command prompt) or export
AWS_HTML_BROWSER=firefox (bash) or setenv AWS_HTML_BROWSER firefox (tcsh)
In Options - Environment Settings user can enter import os
os.environ["AWS_HTML_BROWSER"] = "iexplore" Click OK to save the environment
settings. BOOST loads all environment variables, so the user can change the browser
during a BOOST session.
AUCI: Allow to hide washcoat thickness
CRQ_129270
It is now possible to hide the washcoat thickness in user models, both in catalytic reaction
mechanisms and in transfer mechanisms.
New installation example for modeling an extruded catalyst
CRQ_129892
An installation example for modeling an extruded catalyst has been prepared and is
available in: examples/BOOST/v2014.1/atm/cat/SCR_Extruded_Catalyst. A detailed
description can be found in the documentation.

BOOST v2014.1
Release Notes
1.3.1.1. Filter
New considered filter property: Soot Trap Efficiency
CRQ_126408
A new filter property - the Filter Efficiency - which describes the mass fraction of trapped
particles compared to the upstream particle mass is considered.
Partial Wall Flow Filter Model
CRQ_128873
The BOOST wall flow filter model was enhanced to describe the flow in a partial wall flow
filter which is plugged only at the rear end. With this new feature it is possible to
investigate the filtration efficiency and pressure drop performance of different partial wall
flow filter geometries during loading/regeneration.
1.3.1.2. General
New simulation summary available as XML file
CRQ_117113
The former ASCII summary is replaced by a XML summary. It provides information about
the simulation set-up and performance, and some base results.
BOOST Aftertreatment results available as mat-files
CRQ_130742
Postprocessing of BOOST Aftertreatment simulations in MATLAB has become much more
convenient as the output of simulation results as mat-files is now supported. In order to
make use of this new feature enter the User Defined Parameter "WRITE_MATFILES" in
the BOOST menu at Simulation | Control | User Defined Parameters and enter "TRUE"
as parameter value. When running BOOST Aftertreatment from Simulink the output of
mat-files can be selected in the BOOST block mask. After the successful simulation the
mat-files can be found in the folder "matfiles" in the case-directory and are ready to be
loaded in MATLAB.
xlsBOOST Simulation Tool available
CRQ_134695
With the help of the dedicated spreadsheet xlsBOOST_Simulation_Tool, aftertreatment
simulations can be run from within, and processed with, MS Excel. More details on the
usage of xlsBOOST can be found in the BOOST AT Examples documentation.
1.3.1.3. Solver
Liquid species transport available
CRQ_118110
The transport of liquid species has been implemented in BOOST Aftertreatment. These
liquids are transported as passive species, meaning that they do not influence the gas
properties. In addition to the already available dosing of liquids with the Aftertreatment
Injector element, the injected liquids can be transported as a droplet phase and deposited
downstream on a catalyst's surface. Applying dedicated AUCI mechanisms these liquids
can be evaporated or their constituents can be decomposed.
Thermal coupling of any combination of (Pipe, Catalyst, Filter) is now possible.
CRQ_120004
Thermal coupling of walls will be performed if at least one of the coupled components has
its variable wall temperature (VWT) model turned on (with only the temperatures of
elements with VWT enabled being updated). For of any combination of (Catalyst, Filter),
coupling of the substrates can be turned off/on separately, with the 'air gap' (formerly

'turbulent inlet region') switch on/off, respectively. Coupling can be turned on with the
'Couple to upstream element' switch now also available for pipes and particulate filters.

Burn Utility: Triple Vibe Fit
CRQ_100563

Design Explorer project file (.de)
CRQ_135909
The internal structure of the Design Explorer project file (.de) has been upgraded.
Regarding all AWS clients (EXCITE*, BOOST*), the change is transparent: on loading an
existing Design Explorer project, its internal structure is upgraded. The upgrade will
become permanent upon saving Design Explorer project next time.
