Zusammenfassung:The invention provides an apparatus which simulates fluid flow patterns within a chamber. The apparatus includes a chamber having a mechanism to enable viewing of the inside of the chamber. A simulated head member is associated with the chamber to enable fluid to pass through the member into the chamber. A mechanism to exhaust fluid from the chamber is also associated therewith. A member is positioned within the chamber to simulate a piston position within the chamber. Lightweight members are within the chamber to visually define the fluid flow patterns within the chamber. Also, a method of evaluating cylinder head port, combustion chamber, and valve head designs is disclosed.
