Intake Manifold Optimization by Using 3-D CFD Analysis 2003-32-0073

It is quite well known that a properly designed Intake Manifold is vital for the optimal performance of an IC engine. This paper will present 3-D Simulation of a 1.6L MPFI Engine Intake Manifold by using the FLUENT code and the results will be discussed. Both steady and unsteady state simulations have been accomplished for this case. Steady state simulation results are compared with flow bench rig data for validation. Boundary condition for unsteady state simulation was obtained from 1-D WAVE code. Finally according to the results of steady and unsteady simulations, some suggestions are recommended to improve the performance of this Intake Manifold.
