CFD Analysis for Cooling Water Cavity of a Four-Cylinder Gasoline Engine

Abstract:

s: The 3D model of cooling water cavity was set up, which was in a four cylinders gasoline engine, and the CFD analysis was done after setting the CFD calculation model and boundary conditions. The CFD analysis results shows that the structure design of engine’s cooling water cavity can meet the requirements basically, but there are some zone in which the water speed is lower than 0.5m/s, and there are some whirlpools in cylinder water jacket. In order to improve the cooling effect of the engine, the cooling water inlet channel and cylinder head should be improved.
