Advanced model for SISOFlow
Extends from ThermofluidStream.Utilities.DropOfCommonsPlus.
Information
- For
setFlow=false, this model is equivalent to ThermofluidStream.Interfaces.SISOFlow, i.e it uses the approach:
der(inlet.m_flow)*L = inlet.r - outlet.r;
p_out = p_in + dp;
where the pressure difference dp + dr is given and the mass flow rate m_flow is adapted based on the (negative) inertial pressure
difference -dr = inlet.r - outlet.r.
The inertance L is its 'time constant' (strictly speaking by dimensional analysis (Buckingham pi theorem) one can derive that the time constant TC ~ L*dp_stationary/m_flow_stationary).
The inertance L can be derived from instationary Bernoulli equation.
- For
setFlow=true, this model is an extension of ThermofluidStream.Boundaries.TerminalSource, i.e it uses the approach:
TC * der(dp) = outlet.r - inlet.r;
p_out = p_in + dp;
where the mass flow rate m_flow is given and the pressure difference dp is adapted based on the
(positive) inertial pressure difference dr = outlet.r - inlet.r.
Currently the time constant TC is used as a numerical tool. It might have a physical explanation considering the pressure change der(dp)
of a volume for a given inflow/outflow.
Use dp(start=0) or dp(final start=0) if setFlow=true.
