In this work; we use an acausal multi-domain physical system model to study the interaction between an internal combustion engine operation and a range of cooling scenarios. Although the model can be used for modelling a wide range of scenarios; in this paper we concentrate on the application of “thermal shock”. An internal combustion engine is load-controlled on a dynamometer and coolant temperature transients are imposed on the engine system. Using freely available and commercial Modelica Libraries within the Dymola environment; the whole system integration of the coolant rig and engine dynamometer is achieved. This allows the user to develop and define control strategies for the tests from desktop; prior to engaging in the real tests
