The intake manifold of a Diesel engine is of significant importance. Several modifications are usually carried out in this system to increase the power generated without modifying the general design of the engine. This work presents a numerical and experimental investigation on the air flow in a commercial Diesel engine. The air average mass flow through the intake manifold was obtained experimentally for the D909 Deutz-Diter Diesel engine. Additionally, a numerical model was created for the test engine. The model reproduces the operating and boundary conditions of the flow and integrates the equations that describe the motion of the fluid. The average mass flow through the engine was obtained from the model and compared with the experimental measurements. The model was used subsequently to investigate the air flow within the engine.
