Internal Flow Field Analysis of Engine Intake Manifold Based on RE and CFD

Abstract:

The performance of the engine air intake system directly affect the working performance and fuel consumption, where the intake manifold design is the key.In this paper aimed at L91 Engine intake manifold ,firstly theRE(Reverse Engineering)technology was usedto rebuild the3d model of intake manifold.And then the internal flow zoneof the intake manifoldwas meshedin the pre-processing software ICEMand the internal flow fieldwas analyzedin the softwareof Fluent.The numerical model was verified by comparing the simulated and measured results. And then based on the numerical analysis of the internal flow characteristics of the intake manifold, the structure of variable-length intake manifold was come up with and finally was numerically proved to be better than the normal one.
