A Theoretical and Experimental Study of Resonance in a High Performance Engine Intake System: Part 2
This paper is the final in a series of 3 which describe research, conducted from 2002–2008, on coupled 1D and 3D simulations of an engine and intake system. The simulations and experimental validation elucidated previously unexplained phenomena. The simulation approach was ground-breaking, and includes the first consideration of the influence of intake pipe separation on low frequency pressure fluctuations in the intake system.
This work has significantly added to the understanding of high performance intake systems, and has influenced the design of Formula 1 engines.
