Choose a 2-stroke Choose a UAV/Microlight

benchmark engine and aircraft and obtain its take-off

obtain its parameters weight

Create a Ricardo Wave (RW)

simulation for the benchmark
engine

Adjust benchmark engine

dimensions and parameters
for compatibility with uniflow
scavenging

Create a uniflow (RW)

simulation for these adjusted
values, creating the baseline
engine

Generate CAD models from

individual parts from known
parameters

Conduct a mesh
convergence study on
individual part

Use the boundary conditions

obtained from (RW) for FEA
and/or CFD simulations

Test numerical (CFD/FEA)

simulation case with (RW)
result to validate baseline
engine

Adjust engine design until

sufficient take-off power is
produced to lift the aircraft

Coordinate optimisation for

high efficiency at cruise
phase for the baseline engine
via linking all parts

Re-run (RW) simulation for

the optimised engine

Validate optimised engine
