This 2-day course is designed for new users of GT-POWER and GT-SUITE that are interested in modeling intake and exhaust systems of internal combustion engines.

This course will focus on simulation of intake and exhaust systems through the use of GT-POWER and the 3-D pre-processor GEM-3D (GEM3D is included with the GT-POWER license). 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 intake and exhaust topics will be covered and examples will be provided:
  • Building intake and exhaust systems for an existing engine model
  • Modeling of: resonators, airbox, catalyst, muffler
  • Using GEM3D to build a 3D model and convert it into a 1D model
  • Modeling pressure losses in an intake/exhaust systems
  • Acoustic analysis, standard (non-linear) and linear methods
    • Transmission loss
    • Predicting SPL at an external microphone
    • Making sound files from simulation (.wav format)
    • Pass-by noise simulation (discussion only)
If time permits at the end of the class, additional topics can be covered including: Exhaust Aftertreatment, Porous Intake Pipe Modeling, CFD Coupling
 
When registering, please note how you plan to use GT-POWER in the ‘Area of Interest’ field.
