Abstract
The invention relates to the operation of a supercharged internal combustion engine (2) of a vehicle, wherein an air/volumetric flow current is adjusted by means of an adjustable swirl generator (8) arranged upstream of a supercharge system, taking into consideration an adjustable valve overlap of a cylinder of the internal combustion engine (2). The invention also relates to a vehicle drive comprising a supercharged internal combustion engine (2), a supercharge system of the internal combustion engine (2), an adjustable, variable valve train of the internal combustion engine (2), a control device and an adjustable swirl generator (8). Said swirl generator (8) is arranged upstream of a supercharge unit of the supercharge system, the control device is connected to the swirl generator (8) and to the variable valve train and has a control which correlates a setting of the variable valve train with a setting of the swirl generator (8) to produce a valve overlap for rinsing a combustion chamber of a cylinder of the internal combustion engine (2).
