Flow Field Analysis of Pulse Converter Exhaust Manifold of Diesel Engines

Article Preview

Abstract:

A three-dimensional unsteady flow for the pulse converter exhaust manifold of 8-cylinder diesel engine was numerical simulated to get the flow characteristics of the exhaust manifold. Simulation results show that there are strong eddy flows, low pressure closed recirculation flow region in the exhaust manifold. Afterwards the structure optimization of the exhaust manifold with baffle was put forward and then the unsteady flow in the normal exhaust manifold, the exhaust manifold with baffle of 30 degrees and the exhaust manifold of 15 degrees were simulated and analyzed. It is concluded that the exhaust manifold with baffle is better than that without baffle, the recirculation flow region and the pressure loss in the exhaust manifold with baffle of 30 degrees is smaller than in it with baffle of 15 degree and the flow in the former exhaust manifold is much smoother.
