This course will focus on the simulation of turbocharged IC engines using GT-POWER. It has been designed for automotive engineers who have already experience using GT-POWER to simulate engines, want to learn how GT-POWER models turbochargers and want to learn techniques that improve the speed and results of models. The class will include interactive work in GT-POWER using models provided by GTI. In addition, the class will be flexible, allowing the participants to select among certain topics, so they have an opportunity to learn about topics that relate to their work.

 
1.    Modeling turbocharged engines using GT-POWER
 
            ·    Modeling of turbochargers
·         Map fitting and extrapolation
·         Intercooling methods: simple, semi-predictive and predictive
·         Convergence
·         Transients
 
2.    Potential turbocharging topics (to be decided by the participants at the beginning of the class)
·         Use of the new feed-forward wastegate controller to meet a desired boost  pressure or other target (exercise)
·         Calibration of controls when more than one is present (e.g., wastegate and EGR)
·         Understanding and troubleshooting poor fits of turbine maps
·         Modeling pressure-wave-superchargers (e.g., Hyprex and Comprex) using GT-POWER
·         Acoustic behavior of Compressor and Turbine models
·         Use of the surge model
·         Improved handling of specific heat ratio in GT-POWER in v7.1
·         Matching turbochargers to engines using TurboMapMatch
·         Using mean value cylinders to study advanced turbocharging concepts (two-stage, turbocompounding, e-boost, etc.)
·         CompressorSimple and TurbineSimple
·         Other topics proposed by participants
 
3.    Open discussion (participants may pose questions to the instructor)
 

Participants are asked to send to Mr. Wanat ([email protected]) upon registration an e-mail listing the other topics in item 2 that they want to discuss. This will give Mr. Wanat enough time to prepare course material and exercises (if appropriate) for the selected topics.
