GT-POWER Engine Modeling - Modena

This 3-day course is designed for new users of GT-POWER and GT-SUITE that are interested in modeling internal combustion engines. This course will focus on engine simulation through the use of GT-POWER. Each student will be provided with a computer. The course will include the construction of models and use of the software, which will enable the participants to use the software immediately. It will cover the following topics:

• Introductory Concepts of GT-SUITE    
• 1-D Flow Simulation   
• Discretization of 1-D Models   
• Model Setup- initialization, parameters sweeps, convergence Optimization/Design of Experiments   
• Post-processing (GT-POST)   
• Subassemblies: internal, external, encryption of subassemblies

The following engine modeling topics will be included:   

• Modeling of: manifolds, valves, combustion, heat transfer and fuel injection
• Non-Predictive Combustion for Gasoline and Diesel Engines   
• Cylinder Pressure Analysis   
• Turbochargers   
• EGR   
• Controls Library  
• Transient Simulation   
• Predictive Combustion Modeling

If time permits at the end of the class, additional topics can be covered including introductions to: Coupling with Simulink, CFD Coupling, and Exhaust Aftertreatment. When registering, please note how you plan to use GT-POWER in the ‘Area of Interest’ field. This class will be taught in English.
