Intake valve calculation
 

I am currently calculating a flow in an intake port of a cylinder head. The flow is considered steady, turbulent(k-e model), 3d, compressible (perfect gas law)... Do you think I have to consider temperature variation or not? I could I justify my choice? Thank you Khalel

(1). You can compute two cases and see whether the temperature variation is important or not. (2). What temperature variation?
