Engine Modeling (GT-POWER)

You can also register for this event and the associated North American GT Conference at Conference page.

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.

Due to the limited room capacity, seats will be allocated preferentially to commercial customers.

Note: class time listed is local time zone
