Absolute Average Deviation <strong>of</strong> Volumetric Efficiency<br />

• Used as variable to assess VE spread among different<br />

manifold designs.<br />

• Better indication <strong>of</strong> VE spread than standard<br />

deviation.<br />

• WAVE-VECTIS typically shows higher AAD <strong>of</strong> VE.<br />

• Benefits <strong>of</strong> low AAD <strong>of</strong> VE<br />

– Reduced acoustical order content at intake and exhaust<br />

orifices.<br />

– Less time spent calibrating fuel and ignition changes<br />

for individual cylinders. Better overall calibration.<br />
