This course offers a hands-on introduction to CONVERGE for 
Urea/SCR engine aftertreatment modeling. We will discuss 
urea decomposition and hydrolysis to ammonia, and we will 
describe how to set up urea-water spray modeling in 
CONVERGE. In addition, we will discuss Kuhnke and Bai-Gosman 
wall interaction models, various phenomena that can lead to 
urea deposit formation (e.g., filming, rebounding, 
stripping, and separating), and the application of conjugate 
heat transfer modeling to obtain accurate wall temperatures. 
We will discuss aftertreatment system surface chemistry 
components, such as SCR, DOC, TWC, LNT, and DPF/GPF, which 
can be solved directly with CONVERGE or via coupling with 
GT-SUITE. This course will include sample cases for 
practical Urea/SCR systems as well as validation cases. 
Finally, we will discuss solution acceleration approaches, 
which allow CONVERGE to simulate timescales necessary for 
film and deposit evaluation.
