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.

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

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...

TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
