| ABSTRACT |
|
To improve the thermal efficiency of opposed-piston two-stroke (OP2S) diesel engines, this study focuses on exploring the impact of intake port parameters on the in-cylinder flow field. By combining experimental testing with CFD method, the flow coefficient, swirl ratio, and in-cylinder flow characteristics of multiple intake port samples were analyzed. Based on these results, a preliminary optimization of the intake port design was conducted using the developed simulation model. Compared to the original configuration, the optimized intake port design maintained a high flow coefficient while significantly enhancing in-cylinder turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) and scavenging efficiency, thereby improving thermal efficiency. These findings provide scientific insights and technical support for optimizing the thermal efficiency of diesel engines. |
