Are you concerned about pump performance on your oil or hydraulic system?  Is air-in-oil and/or cavitation a problem? Would you like to build a 1D model of a vane or gerotor pump directly from a CAD file?  If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you will benefit from learning how to model detailed pumps in GT-SUITE.

Obtaining the optimal performance and highest efficiency of a pump is a problem engineers often face in order to increase fuel economy while meeting the flow and pressure demands of the oil or hydraulic system.  This 30-minute webinar will introduce you to the most advanced tool for this purpose, widely used in the industry.
What will you learn?
  • How to rapidly build vane and gerotor style pump models directly from a CAD file
  • Key pump performance predictions from GT-SUITE
  • Friction sources can be included for pump power consumption
  • Influence of aeration and cavitation on performance and pulsations
  • NVH issues due to pressure pulsations and amplitudes can be analyzed
  • Performance maps can be generated when experimental data is not yet available
  • Other pump types can be modeled including crescent, screw, external gear, vacuum, piston and swashplate
  • High-level physics used, including 1D Navier-Stokes equations (with energy solution)
