Analysis of the fluid dynamic behaviour through the air collector following the installation of pressure outlets

Abstract

This study is a preliminary investigation to determine the feasibility of creating an experimental model of pressure analysis at different points in the air intake system of an internal combustion engine. The purpose of the CFD analysis is to determine whether or not the value of the pressure obtained from the air intakes is influenced by their geometry or position. The study presents both the results of the analysis and the steps and parameters used in the numerical modeling process. The software used to create the numerical model is Fluent from the suite of software provided by Ansys under the academic license.
