Cold Flow Simulation of Helical Intake Manifold for Single Cylinder CI Engine

In 21^st century primary purpose of Internal Combustion (IC) engine inventors is to accomplish dual objectives of finest performance and reduced emission. For maximizing mass of air induced into cylinder during suction stroke intake manifold design should be optimized. Present work primarily incorporates the effect of helical intake manifold on air motion and turbulence inside the cylinder at different crank angles. Three dimensional models of intake manifold and cylinder are generated in Creo Parametric 3.0 and meshed using Ansys 16.0. The flow characteristics of air inside intake manifold as well as engine cylinder are analysed in FLUENT 16.0.
