What Are the Best Software Tools for Engine Simulation?

AI Thread Summary
GT Power is recognized as the industry standard for simulating internal combustion engines, widely used across various sectors including motorsport. For simulating intake manifold flow, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software is recommended. Many large engine manufacturers have developed proprietary simulation codes tailored to their specific needs. Additionally, resources like free online calculators for energy conversion and relevant literature, such as Gordon P. Blair's book on four-stroke engine design, are suggested for further exploration. Overall, selecting the right software depends on the specific simulation requirements and engine type.

This might not be the best place to put this post but still i would like to know about some good softwares which are used to:
1.Simulate the flow in intake manifold.
2.Simulate the engine performance.

What kind of engine?
 
GT Power is widely accepted to be the industry standard for internal combustion simulation (throughout the industrial, commercial, passenger and motorsport circles), but many large engine manufacturers have developed their own code.

Intake manifold flow may be better simulated using some CFD code.

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
