Chapter 2: Tutorial: Solving a Port Flow Simulation in IC Engine (Fluent) System In this tutorial of port flow analysis, you will measure mass and angular momentum flux (swirl and tumble) for given cylinder head and intake port design over varying valve lifts of 2mm, 6mm and 10mm, You will create swirl monitor planes at 30 mm, 45 mm, and 60 mm below the cylinder head. The inlet, outlet and wall boundary conditions are as shown in the Figure 2.1: Problem Schematic (p. 63) Initial conditions are pressure 101325 Pa and temperature 300 K. The tutorial illustrates the following steps in setting up and solving a port flow simulation of an IC engine. + Launch IC Engine system, + Read an existing geometry into IC Engine. + Decompose the geometry. + Define mesh setup and mesh the geometry. + Add design points to observe the change in results with change in input parameters. + Run the simulation. + Examine the results in the report.

You have also learned how to use ANSYS Workbench parametric system, which is here used for varying the valve lifts and examining their effect on mass flow rate. 2.9. Further Improvements This tutorial presents streamlined workflow between pre-processing, solver and post processing for ease of port flow simulations and performing parametric analysis for varying valve lifts. You may use different meshing strategies for accurate results. You may use parametric system in workbench for analysis of different port angles, valve seat inclinations etc. BRET BIST A QI TTT COMI PITY a TATE TGR
