Influence of Eccentric Chamfer Structure at Seat Ring Bottom Hole on Swirl Ratio and Flow Coefficient in Dual-Tangential Intake Ports
The airflow characteristics of engine intake ports significantly influence combustion efficiency and emission performance. This study investigates the effects of an eccentric chamfer structure at the seat ring bottom hole on the swirl ratio and flow coefficient in a dual-tangential intake port for a four-valve diesel engine. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and steady flow experiments were conducted under valve lifts ranging from 1 mm to 9 mm. Results indicate that the eccentric chamfer structure enhances the swirl ratio by 39 times (from 0.12 to 4.73) at low valve lifts (<6 mm) without compromising the flow coefficient. At higher lifts (>6 mm), both chamfer designs exhibit negligible differences in performance. Experimental validation confirmed the CFD results, with errors below 3% for swirl ratio and 5% for flow coefficient. This work provides a practical approach to optimize low-speed engine performance through geometric modifications.
