1D Simulation of Intake Manifold

Suppose you have to design a 600 cc engine, you have no data , how will you start. Benchmarking can help in this case. I took R6 specification and then did 1D Simulation as per my expectation of final power torque curve. Following parameters are not standard of R6, I have changed them based on my 1D Simulation - see other blog for Modeling and Simulation of throttle bore, diffuser, intake manifold, cylinder, timing, exhaust valve.    

From Yamaha R6 Engine Specification and initial simulation iterations following parameters haven finalized for our final simulation:-

Effect of Plenum of Volume on Torque is shown in below table. Initially very distinct value is chosen; for further optimization incremental value for plenum volume will be analyzed.  



Conclusion from Above Graph: -As we can see at Plenum Volume 3 Liter, Torque is smooth consequently now we will refine plenum volume near 3L only.







Conclusion from Above Graph: - 2.8 Li Plenum volume gives smooth torque consequently now Runner Cross Section variation will be simulated for 2.8 Liter plenum volume. Go to next article for simulation of runner.
