The platform AMESim allows to access to libraries models for simulating engine or vehicle. Modeling approaches (0D/1D) do not however allow to match the 3D code accuracy levels. From this the study is on OpenFoam (simulation software CFD 3D) in order to reduce the problem in 1D with opening new perspectives of computing time, and prediction quality.}}
