Multiphysics Analysis Helps Simulate Diesel Engine Cylinder Head

As part of a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from TACOM (Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command) - a division of the U.S. Army -Adiabatics used multiphysics finite element analysis (FEA) software from ALGOR to study the thermal and structural behavior of a cylinder head for a diesel engine that would provide reduced heat rejection and increased power density, while maintaining superior fuel economy and lower operating costs.
