Abstract
To study the flow and swirl characteristics in the variable swirl intake system of a four-valve diesel engine, a numerical simulation with using the three dimensional CFD software AVL-FIRE, was calculated on the intake flow in three types of inlet of the engine. Two swirl-control valve plans are posed and a better plan was selected through the comparative study. The result shows that with a lager valve lift the flow characteristic of spiral inlet is better than that of tangential inlet, and in the opposite case the results are also opposite. The double inlets make the swirl torque increase. When a swirl-control valve is set in the spiral inlet, the variable swirl effect is better, and it ensures better flow capacity and larger swirl ratio range.
