CFD and Structural Analysis of the Intake Manifold Flap of an Internal Combustion Engine

Abstract:

The objective of this study is to analyze the flow filed in the intake manifold using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The main function of the intake manifold flap is to regulate the air flow and to uniformly distribute in the cylinders. If the air is distributed uneven to the engine the volumetric efficiency, power and fuel consumption is reduced. The finite element method can be used to optimize the throttle flap. The results in the simulation offer valuable information’s of the flow field in the throttle assembly. The results show that the CFD model can be used as a tool for improve and optimize various part of the intake manifold flap.
