less, as CFD calculations are expensive in terms <strong>of</strong> computer time, designers will always have<br />

a need for some better starting point based more on experimental evidence than intuition.<br />

Finally, for those who wish to examine the full extent <strong>of</strong> porting design seen in two-stroke<br />

engines, albeit mostly loop-scavenged two-stroke motorcycle engines, the comprehensive<br />

design compendia [3.32] emanating from the Technical University <strong>of</strong> Graz deserve study as a<br />

source <strong>of</strong> reference on what has been produced.<br />

3.5.5.1 The main transfer port<br />

The orientation <strong>of</strong> the main port, which is the scavenge port immediately beside the exhaust<br />

port, is already stated as the designer's first priority <strong>and</strong> this has some potential for<br />

empirical guidance. If one examines the port plan layouts <strong>of</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the cylinders known to<br />

provide successful scavenging, several factors st<strong>and</strong> out quite noticeably:<br />

(a) The upsweep angle <strong>of</strong> the main port, UPM, is rarely larger than 10°.<br />

(b) The value <strong>of</strong> AM2 is usually between 50° <strong>and</strong> 55°.<br />

(c) The target point for MT2 is usually between 10% <strong>and</strong> 15% <strong>of</strong> the cylinder bore dimension,<br />

BO.<br />

(d) The target point for MT1 is approximately on the edge <strong>of</strong> the cylinder bore.<br />

(e) The port is tapered to provide an accelerating flow though the port, i.e., AMI is<br />

greater than AM2, <strong>and</strong> AMI is rarely larger than 70°.<br />

(f) The larger the angle, AMI, the more the target point, MT1, is inside the cylinder<br />

bore. The narrower the angle, AMI, the farther outside the cylinder bore is the target<br />
