The 1D flow solution in GT-SUITE is unique in that it solves the Navier-Stokes equations – and is a major differentiating factor and a great technical advantage of GT-SUITE with respect to other system-level simulation tools.
Among the technical capabilities and advantages are:
- Fundamentally robust, highly accurate, stable even under zero flow
- Fast solution times
- One set of components handles any fluid (gas, liquid, multi-component, refrigerants)
- Always solves the energy equation (no run time penalty)
- Real gas thermodynamics
- Species transfer, priming
- Cavitation and free/dissolved air
- Quasi-3D modeling for acoustics and heat exchanger applications
- Tightly coupled to GT-SUITE 3D multi-body mechanics
Because of these advantages and capabilities, GT-SUITE is recognized as the most advanced solution for hydraulics, fuel injection, lubrication, cooling and thermal management.
