Engine Performance & Combustion

Simulate engine performance, gas exchange, and combustion with GT-POWER's industry-leading 1D engine modeling for accurate, predictive results

Solution Overview

WHAT IS GT-POWER?

GT-POWER is the industry standard internal combustion engine performance simulation software, used by all major engine manufacturers and vehicle OEMs. GT-POWER is a very commonly used name for engine performance simulation in GT-SUITE.  It is used to predict engine performance quantities such as power, torque, fuel consumption, turbocharger performance and matching, to name just a few.  It became established as a standard in the engine industry as the go-to tool used to optimize valve and cam lift profiles and timings, determine optimal intake and exhaust manifold designs and select turbochargers virtually.

Application Highlights

Combustion & Emissions

  • Cylinder pressure analysis tools including mean cycle analysis, multi cycle analysis, and knock analysis
  • Predictive combustion models for
    • Multi-pulse diesel
    • Port and/or direct injection spark ignition
    • Pre-chamber jet ignition
    • Dual fuel
    • HCCI
  • Predictive cycle to cycle variation (CCV) and knock models
  • Predictive spray droplet and film evaporation models for both port and direct injection
  • Predictive combustion, knock, and evaporation models include relevant sub-models for both traditional fuels and alternative fuels such as natural gas, hydrogen, ammonia, ethanol, and methanol
  • Predictive emissions models for NOx, HC, CO, and soot
  • Automated workflow for training Machine Learning (ML) based combustion models
  • Easy import of GT-POST metamodels for laminar flame speeds, knock, ignition delay, emissions, etc
