The in-cylinder tumble intensity of GDI engine is crucial to combustion stability and thermal efficiency, required to be different for the different operation conditions. A new variable tumble system (VTS) applied to GDI engine was introduced to meet tumble ratio requirements in various situations. The transient gas exchange of four combustion systems all were investigated during both intake and compression strokes based on CFD simulation, namely (1) Case 1-Intake port B (with flap valve)/Spherical piston crown; (2) Case 2-Intake port B (without flap valve)/Spherical piston crown; (3) Case 3- Intake port A/Spherical piston crown; (4) Case 4-Intake port A/Dented piston crown. The simulated results of dynamic tumble ratio showed that during the whole intake process the dynamic tumble ratio of Case1 was obviously higher than other Cases with the same boundary conditions, and the maximum value was about 5∼6 times higher.
