GT-FUEL is a tool for analysis of fuel injection and hydraulic systems. Its solver is based on the solution of compressible 1-D Navier-Stokes equations, including effects of entrained gas within the liquid and cavitation. GT-FUEL is applicable to diesel and gasoline fuel injection systems and both common rail and unit pump systems. Sophisticated assemblies are built into GT-FUEL's object library to model complex hydraulic components such as injectors, dampers, snubber valves and cam-driven pumps.
When coupled with GT-POWER, it can be used to assess the interactions between the fuel injection system parameters and combustion chamber geometry, and their effect on combustion. GT-FUEL is also applicable to other hydraulic systems such as braking, power steering and wet clutches, as well as general hydraulics simulation.
