Abstract:
1. An intake apparatus for an internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine including a cylinder head that defines a plurality of engine cylinders and an intake port connected to each of the engine cylinders, and an intake manifold connected with the intake port, the intake apparatus comprising: a partition disposed within the intake port defined by the cylinder head, the partition extending in a longitudinal direction of the intake port so as to divide an inside region of the intake port into a first passage and a second passage; and a gas motion control valve disposed at a downstream end of the intake manifold and adjacent to an upstream end of the partition, the gas motion control valve including a rotatable valve element and having a full-closed position where the valve element fully closes the second passage of the intake port and a full-open position where the valve element fully opens the second passage of the intake port, the valve element and the partition cooperating with each other to define an interspace between the valve element and the upstream end of the partition when the gas motion control valve is in the full-closed position.
