Abstract
An internal EGR amount calculation device for an internal combustion engine, which, even when a timing position relationship between a valve overlap period and an exhaust top dead center has changed, can properly calculate an internal EGR amount according to the change and can improve a calculation accuracy of the internal EGR amount. The internal EGR amount calculation device for an internal combustion engine includes an ECU. The ECU calculates a basic blow back gas amount, calculates a crank angle position in the center between the starting point and the ending point of the valve overlap period as an overlap center position, calculates a blow back gas amount by correcting the basic blow back gas amount according to the overlap center position, and calculates the internal EGR amount, using the calculated blow back gas amount.
