Abstract
A method of detecting surging in a turbocharger provided for an internal combustion engine, includes: a first characteristic quantity calculation step of calculating a first characteristic quantity in at least one first frequency region corresponding to at least one first peak frequency component unique to the time of occurrence of surging in the turbocharger on the basis of a time-variable waveform indicating a time-series change of a rotation speed of the turbocharger; a second characteristic quantity calculation step of calculating a second characteristic quantity in a second frequency region including the at least one first frequency region on the basis of the time-variable waveform; and a detection step of detecting surging in the turbocharger on the basis of a relationship between the first characteristic quantity and the second characteristic quantity. The second frequency region further includes at least one second peak frequency unique to the time of acceleration and deceleration of the internal combustion engine from among frequency components different from the at least one first peak frequency component.
