Simulation of the Intake and Compression Strokes of a Motored 4-Valve Si Engine with a Finite Element Code

“…In current multi-valve engines, swirl motion is generated by a port deactivation [2] and its magnitude is controlled by intake port and combustion chamber geometries. But we know that this swirl motion is sensitive to the port excentration and one often observe a tilted charge motion [1,3] in four-valve pentroof engines. Such geometries thus offer a very good test case for a numerical tool such as N3S-Natur.…”
