| Manifold Flow Analyses |
- Technalysis can work with engine
development engineers to design improved intake and exhaust manifolds. Analysis results
explain flow distribution and dynamic effects within the manifold. Analyses can predict:
- Port to port flow distribution
influencing air/fuel ratio variation cylinder to cylinder
- Aerodynamic tuning effects of manifold runners
- EGR and PCV flow
- Transient flow changes caused by manifold modifications
- Optimum placement/size of runners and plenum
- Effects of variable geometry devices within the manifold
control flow dynamics
- In the design of engine manifolds, the dynamic
effects found using 1-D transient analysis may be augmented by 3-D steady flow analysis.
The flow losses caused by entrance transitions and abrupt shape changes can be identified
and optimized with 3-D flow simulation.

| A Typical Project |
- Analysis of Current Design (Phase I)
- The current product or process design is
modeled. Analysis results are correlated with available experimental data. Analysis
results are presented and explained. Significant design parameters are identified. Design
recommendations are made.
- Design Improvement (Phase II)
|
- Recommendations of Phase I are implemented
into the model and the analysis is repeated. From analysis iterations a final design is
provided for follow- on building and testing by the client.
- Transfer of Technology (Phase III)
- Technology is transferred to customer via
software and training.
