Mean Value Engine Modeling – Detroit
This one day course will introduce mean value cylinder engine modeling and will focus on the method by which a detailed GT-POWER model can be converted to a mean value engine model. A mean value model uses a simplified map-based engine cylinder. This results in a model that executes much more rapidly than a model containing standard cylinder components, since the breathing and combustion processes are not calculated. Engine models which incorporate mean value cylinders are typically used in situations where fast computation speed is very important and detailed characterization of engine processes is considered relatively unimportant, such as control system design studies or long vehicle transients. The course will also include introductions to Design of Experiments (DOE) and Neural Network control capabilities in GT-SUITE, as these tools are integral to mean value modeling. Each student will have his or her own computer and will participate in the class by converting an example detailed model to a mean value model.

Coupling of GT-POWER, GT-FUEL and KIVA – Europe
This one day course will introduce the coupling of 1-D diesel engine models with fuel systems models and 3-D in-cylinder flow and combustion models. It will focus on the method by which a detailed GT-POWER model can be coupled to a GT-FUEL model and how this coupled model can also be coupled with KIVA. (KIVA is a 3-D CFD code that has been customized to simulation in-cylinder flow, injection and combustion.) The improvements in fuel injection technology that allow multiple pulses per cycle and the interdependence of the combustion and the injection processes has increased the necessity to couple GT-POWER and GT-FUEL simulations. In addition, the continuous improvements in computational power have made practical the possibility to couple a 1-D engine model with a 3-D cylinder flow and combustion model that can take into account the effects of flow on the combustion process. Coupled models will allow more efficient optimization of fuel injection strategies to improve fuel efficiency, emissions and combustion noise. Each student will have his or her own computer and will participate in the class by first coupling an engine and fuel system model using the DI-Jet model and then coupling that model with a 3-D in-cylinder KIVA model.

GT-POWER: 3D-Discretizer/ Linear Acoustic Analysis – Europe
This course will teach users to use two features of GT-SUITE; the 3D-Discretization Tool and Linear Acoustic analysis. Both of these features are new to GT-SUITE starting in version 6.1.
I. The 3D-Discretization Tool has been developed as a pre-processor to GT-POWER. It is a tool that can discretize three-dimensional model files into systems of components that can be used in GT-SUITE. The Discretizer can calculate the geometric quantities of an STL model file and translate these into components that are compatible with GT-SUITE and create an input file for GT-ISE. It simplifies the creation of engine models because it requires only a 3D model file. Potentially, it can reduce the amount of time needed to create a model consisting of complex three-dimensional shapes. The following topics will be covered:
• Discretization of the model
• Creating pipes and flowsplits
• Importing final model into GT-SUITE
• Future advancements
II. Linear acoustic analysis is well-known and established methodology that predicts the acoustic response of a system in the frequency domain. Linear acoustic analysis is advantageous because it can predict the acoustic response of a system much faster than a standard GT-POWER non-linear acoustic solution. The following topics will be covered:
• Introduction to linear acoustic theory
• Advantages and limitations of a linear analysis
• Applications
• Linear acoustic analysis templates
• Conducting a linear analysis
• Processing and understanding results
• Comparison of linear and non-linear models
III. Open forum for discussion of all GT-POWER and GT-SUITE related topics.
Course will start at 9.00 and end at 17.00
