2-dimensional investigation of in-cylinder flow and turbulence at suction stroke in internal combustion 4-stroke engines

Studies and experiments conducted for the performance enhancement of internal combustionengines are of great importance. Today, challenges encountered in securing energy resources,the incremental costs and environmental factors constantly remind us that we should not ignorefuel economy in motor vehicles. Studies conducted in this framework focus on lower fuelconsumption and less exhaust emissions while improving performance. Undoubtedly,combustion chamber designs and charge systems have a great effect on exhaust emissions andperformance. For this reason, a suction stroke was modeled in two dimensions using the fluentsoftware to better understand the charge systems in internal combustion engines. The designwas based on 1600 cc Fiat engine measurements and engine geometry was defined. CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) software was used to investigate the valve opening andcylinder and combustion chamber air motion at 900, 3000, 5000 rev-1 RPM and the resultswere discussed in detail. CFD results will assist engine designers in understanding the effectsof suction system and its components on various parameters.
