| Title | Theory of Engine Manifold Design: Wave Action Methods for IC Engines |
| Author | D E. Winterborne |
| Biblio | 2000; 476 Pages; Hard Cover |
| Description | It has been said that if the cylinder is the heart of the engine, then the manifolds are the lungs. The design of manifolds for internal combustion engines has, therefore, been an important application of unsteady fluid dynamics for many years. Different engine applications require different characteristics, and these can be achieved through the detailed design of manifold. This design is dependent upon being able to calculate the unsteady flow of the compressible gases flowing through the engine. This book, together with its companion volume, Design Techniques for Engine Manifolds - Wave Action Methods for IC Engines, reports the significant developments that have occurred over the last twenty years and shows how mature the calculation of one-dimensional flow has become. In particular the volumes show how the application of finite volume techniques result in more accurate simulations than the "traditional" method of characteristics, and gives further benefit and more robust calculations. |
