Fluid Dynamics of the Internal Combustion Engine

[lurks]

Does anyone know of any good reference material related to the compressible fluid flow through the internal combustion engine? I have yet to find what I'm looking for.

Thanks,

What are you really looking for then? I'm sure someone here with some experience could help out...

You couldn't possibly mean something like Gordon Blair's book on 4-stroke engine simulation? Although from what little I know about engines most flow is treated as incompressible, with Mach numbers of .6 or less in the intake.

Also check out the books by Winterbone & Pearson on manifold design.

The flow is compressible, otherwise pressure wave action wouldn't be such an important feature of intake & exhaust design. And of course you can get choked flow in valves and in (artificial) restrictors.
