modelTwoWayFlowElementBuoyancy

Flow resistance that uses the power law

Extends from Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.BaseClasses.TwoWayFlowElement.

Information

This is a partial model for models that describe the bi-directional air flow through large openings.

Models that extend this model need to compute mAB_flow and mBA_flow, or alternatively VAB_flow and VBA_flow, and the face area area. The face area is a variable to allow this partial model to be used for doors that can be open or closed as a function of an input signal.
