Description
This book is about wave action methods for IC engines. It has been written by a team of experts in the field, and it covers the developments that have taken place over the last twenty years. The book provides a detailed description of how the application of finite volume techniques can result in more accurate simulations than the traditional Method of Characteristics. It also discusses the benefits of using wave action methods for the design and analysis of IC engines.
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, they show how the application of finite volume techniques results in more accurate simulations than the `traditional' Method of Characteristics and gives the further benefit of more rapid and more robust calculations. CONTENTS INCLUDE:
- Introduction
- Governing equations
- Numerical methods
- Future developments in modelling unsteady flows in engine manifolds
- Simple boundaries at pipe ends
- Intra-pipe boundary conditions
- Turbocharging components
- The application of wave action methods to design and analysis of flow in engines.
