Intake manifold connects the intake system to the intake valve of the engine and through
which air or air–fuel mixture is drawn into the cylinder. Details of the flow in intake manifolds …

A global methodology has been developed and validated to obtain the total pressure loss
coefficient in internal compressible flow in T-type junctions. This methodology is based on …

A new coefficient to characterize the global behaviour of adiabatic compressible flow at T-
junctions is proposed. The new coefficient is defined according to the conclusions derived …

Intake tuning and ram effect are widely known methods to increase engine performance.
This paper details the design, manufacturing and results of an intake system with active duct …

Nowadays, computational fluid dynamics codes (CFD) are prevalently used to simulate the
gas dynamics in many fluid piping systems such as steam and gas turbines, inlet and …

Penetrating exhaust manifold systems are commonly used in low-speed two-stroke marine
diesel engines owing to their potential for energy conservation. However, few studies in the …

The purpose of this paper is to compare different methodologies of CFD analysis, applied to
the intake plenum of a turbocharged HSDI Diesel engine. The study is performed by using …

Duct junctions play a major role in the operation and design of most piping systems. The
objective of this paper is to establish the potential of a staggered mesh finite volume model …

Swirl control strategies are useful methods for controlling mixture formation in HSDI Diesel
engines. Test rigs allows only steady state measurements of the Swirl number, and give only …

To achieve low nitrogen oxide (NO x) emissions and combustion reliability, the variation in
the geometry of the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system should be optimized. However …
