Abstract

<div class="htmlview paragraph">This paper presents a numerical study on a racing engine with variable intake and exhaust geometry and valve actuation. The study is carried out by using dynamic engine simulations. Aim of the analysis is the evaluation of the benefits these devices have on engine performance. Results show clear advantages over the full range of engine speed.</div>
