Post subject:  Swirl direction???

Supplemental to my injector question, however....

A: Which way CW/CCW does each cylinder swirl?

B: At what RPM does the swirl become tumble? (allows me to multi injector fire)

I don't know, but are we talking about swirls in the compression stroke?
Dose the inlet manifolds affect any of this?
Interesting topic I've never really got into.

It's on the inlet stroke. two valve heads generate a swirl where 4(+) valve heads tumble with efficiency cross over around 4000rpm (stroke/bore ratio dependant). Im assuming the swirl in the mini 5 port is both CCW/CW due to the Siamese ports with the direction correlating to the tangential momentum of air-fuel to the cylinder circumference. But that's only an assumption.
If I can shoot the fuel from each injector to suit cylinder fill, I can smooth out the rich/lean bias. I'm also considering smaller injectors and concurrent firing at higher demand. If I can poke holes in my thoughts now it'll save some coin later.

I figure looking from the inlet port side from the top of the cylinder:
1 CW, 2 CCW 3 CW 4 CCW.
But that's just a slightly educated guess that most of the charge goes in the backside of the valve and will turn around as it encounters the cylinder wall.

I suppose an injector fired at the valve would have to help somewhat with charge robbing and maybe firing cylinders 1 and 4? slightly later.

It was an idea I had some time ago, swap the exhaust and inlet ports, so you have 3 inlet ports an 2 exhaust ports, cylinders 2 and 3 then share the middle port but are separated so charge robbing would be minimal. The exhaust might not be optimal however... You would have a charge go out the port immediately followed by it's neighbour which might result in some scavenging happening?
You would need a pretty different camshaft though.

Ok updated the cranium to one injector per cylinder (2 per port), dumped the concurrent firing.
