Analysis of Various Automotive Mufflers: Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach
Abstract
Muffler contributes extensively to decrease the backpressure and the noise pollution. It is essential to
compare and display the overall performance of muffler system. This paper offers the results of the
performance of an actual and modified automotive muffler system. The results of the automotive
mufflers performance analysis are presented and a comparison is made to the decrease of
backpressure and to increase the efficiency. Muffler modelling are performed in SolidWorks software
and simulation analysis performed in ANSYS CFD (Fluid Flow) tool. The main purpose of this
project is to optimize the automotive muffler through changing its internal designs to decrease the
backpressure. Three designs are made with same dimensions and different internal designs are
analysed in ANSYS CFD tool. Finally, the results are discussed in detail and the performance of the
automotive muffler is showed in different variations.
