Abstract In some competitions the rules clearly state that all participating cars must install a restrictor valve structure in the intake system of the engine. The intake air volume of the engine is considerably affected due to the existence of such a valve. Indeed, a small interface diameter through which gas flows can lead to considerable flow resistance and loss. In this study, a four-cylinder engine for FSC racing is analyzed using a combined method based on numerical simulation and experiments. The analysis reveals that the main factors affecting the intake air volume are the intake More >
