Engine design :-
The primary design decisions are:
1. The specification of engine type2. Peak power at a specified speed or rpm3. The number of cylinders4. Fuel and emission characteristics5. The total volume of the engine6. Overall packaging of the system including all the
subsystems
3
The geometry of the ports-valves and cylinders is "frozen" at critical points during the engine cycle
The air flow through the ports is analysed using CFD Flow rate through the engine volume, swirl and tumble in the
cylinder are determined. Turbulence level are also determined.
The results- provide snapshots of the fluid dynamics throughout the
engine cycle. are used to modify the port geometry to produce desired
behaviour of the air flow
Port flow simulation:-

SWIRL FLOW AND TUMBLE FLOW:-
1- SWIRL FLOW:-The axis is more or less coincident with axis of the cylinder. It is commonly used in diesel engines.
Fig. Swirl flow in diesel engine
Two types of flows that occurs inside the combustion chamber in case of port simulation. These are:

2- TUMBLE FLOW:-
The axis of rotation of flow is perpendicular to the axis of cylinder.We refer the rotational axis associated with it, is the Z axis, in this
case the point out of the screen, towards the reader.

WHAT WE DID?We measured the dimensions of combustion chamber of an
IC Engine.
7
Valve Dimensions:-
8
We made the design of the head of combustion chamber in the CATIA V5.
After that we imported this design into the ANSYS17.0 workbench.

Performed all the analysis in IC-Engine(Fluent) component of ANSYS17.0 workbench.
We then set the required parameters like distance of post planes in input manager in design modular.
After that we decompose the combustion chamber after giving the required geometry.
Then we MESH the whole geometry. Since the turbulent flow interactions with the walls are critical, mesh refinement in the near wall region is necessary.

at 0.2mm of valve lift.

Burning time losses:-
If the spark is initiated at TDC, the pressure would be low due to expansion of gases.
If the spark is initiated too early then additional work is required to
compress the burning gas, which is a direct loss.
18
Future aspects:-
As we did our port flow simulation of combustion chamber to determine the turbulence by changing the minimum valve lift
We can optimize the design parameters, keeping the optimum
derived minimum valve lift by using the cold flow simulation. We can also derive the fuel spray design and the reduction in the
exhaust emissions.
19
Conclusions:-
Initially as we are increasing the valve lift, the velocity magnitude is also increasing, means the turbulence is increasing.
But after certain extent that too much turbulence is not desirable, because it will blow off the flame.
We got the plot b/w mass flow rate at various swirl planes with respect to no. of iterations.
After performing our simulation we came to the conclusion:
