A rapid synthesis technique for intake manifold design
by R.J. Pearson, D.E. Winterbone
International Journal of Vehicle Design (IJVD), Vol. 10, No. 6, 1989

Abstract: The dynamic phenomena which occur in the intake manifolds of reciprocating internal combustion engines can be employed to manipulate their performance characteristic. It is possible to accurately predict the manifold flow using non-linear techniques but these are often too cumbersome for use at the initial design stage. The present work describes a computationally efficient linear technique with the facility to predict volumetric efficiency trends as a function of manifold geometry and which therefore has the potential to be used in the synthesis of new manifolds.
