Abstract
A numerical method is presented to simulate the pressure wave in the m ulti-expansion exhaust system of two-stroke engine. In the simulated p rocesses, the inlet pipe, scavenge pipe and exhaust pipe of the two-st roke engine are simplifed by the pips model, while the engine cylinder , crankcase and the expansion chamber are treated as the vessel model. The cubic-interpolated pseudo-particle (CIP) method combined with the method of characteristics (MOC) is used to solve the hyperbolic equat ions. The results from simulation compare reasonably well with the exp erimental data.
