Ricardo Wave Tutorial (TRUSTED TUTORIAL)

| Issue | Likely Cause | Solution | |-------|--------------|----------| | Divergence early in simulation | Unrealistic valve lift or too large time step | Reduce time step, smooth lift curve. | | Unstable pressure oscillations | Improper orifice discharge coefficients | Check Cd values (0.6–0.8 typical). | | No combustion | Incorrect spark timing or mixture | Verify fuel/air ratio (λ=1 for SI). | | Very low power | Restrictive intake/exhaust | Check duct diameters and lengths. |
