The current paper investigates two particular features of a novel rotary split engine. This internal combustion engine incorporates a number of positive advantages in comparison to conventional reciprocating piston engines. As a split engine, it is characterized by a significant difference between the expansion and compression ratios, the former being higher. The processes are decoupled and take place simultaneously, in different chambers and on the different sides of the rotating pistons. Initially, a brief description of the engine’s structure and operating principle is provided. Next, the configuration of the compression chamber and the sealing system are examined. The numerical study is conducted using CFD simulation models, with the relevant assumptions and boundary conditions. Two parameters of the compression chamber were studied, the intake port design (initial and optimized) and the sealing system size (short and long). The best option was found to be the combination of the optimized intake port design with the short seal, in order to keep the compression chamber as close as possible to the engine shaft. A more detailed study of the sealing system included different labyrinth geometries. It was found that the stepped labyrinth achieves the highest sealing efficiency.

The objective of this study is to analyze and predict the flow through the intake manifold using a computational fluid dynamics program (CFD). The performance of internal combustion engine depends of the intake manifold and its components. Three model of the intake manifold flap was created and analyzed by using the commercially available ANSYS software. The volumetric efficiency which affects the engine power and torque is affected by the flow of air in the intake manifold. These paper reviews the work realized by various researchers in the field of variable intake manifold. The CFD plots offers valuable information’s of the flow field and tension distribution in the various part of intake manifold flap mechanism. The results show that the CFD model can be used as a tool for improve and optimize various part of the intake manifold flap.
