Multi-Fluid Modeling
Model gas, liquid, refrigerant, and two-phase flows with injection, all within the same framework
Simulate pumps and compressors in GT-SUITE — model detailed flow, cavitation, and thermodynamic behavior across hydraulic, fuel, lubrication, and refrigerant systems.
Solution Overview
Wide Range of Applications
GT-SUITE delivers detailed simulation capabilities for pumps and compressors across a broad range of industries and system types. Models are applied to hydraulic systems, fuel delivery, lubrication circuits, cooling systems, transmission systems, HVAC, gas processing, and aftertreatment systems — enabling engineers to analyze both individual components and fully integrated system behavior within a single simulation environment.
GT-SUITE is the ideal tool to study detailed flow and thermodynamic behavior for any pump or compressor application. Each machine type is analyzed in depth to predict performance characteristics, flow and pressure pulsations, noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) issues, friction losses, and bearing performance resulting from internal pressurization.
Application Highlights
Pump and Compressor Simulation Capabilities
- Detailed flow and pressure pulsations predicted directly from machine geometry, enabling accurate NVH analysis and fluid-borne noise assessment without reliance on experimental pulsation data
- Automated model construction from CAD geometry for vane, gerotor, scroll, and external gear machines, significantly reducing setup time and minimizing manual input errors
- Full support for positive and variable displacement machines within a unified modeling framework, covering a wide range of pump and compressor types including reciprocating, swashplate, screw, roots blower, and scroll machines
