Webinar: Modeling CAD-based Oil & Hydraulic Pumps
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)
