Abstract EN
As the legislations on the emission and performance of automobiles are being made more stringent, the expected performance of all the subsystems of an internal combustion engine is also becoming crucial.
Nowadays the engines are downsized, and their power increased the demand on the air intake system that has increased phenomenally.
Hence, an analysis was carried on a typical air filter fitted into the intake system to determine its flow characteristics.
In the present investigation, a CAD model of an existing air filter was designed, and CFD analysis was done pertaining to various operating regimes of an internal combustion engine.
The numerical results were validated with the experimental data.
From the postprocessed result, we can see that there is a deficit in the design of the present filter, as the bottom portion of the filter is preventing the upward movement of air.
Hence, the intake passage can be rearranged to provide an upward tangential motion, which can enhance the removal of larger dust and soot particles effectively by the inertial action of air alone.
