What Are the Best Software Tools for Engine Simulation?

Click For 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.

Hi there:

Check out the following URL for some free online calculators on energy conversion:

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
