Model for heat transfer between buffer storage layers. Models conductance of water. Buoyancy and conduction are considered individually
Total massflow by buoyancy is calculated by a fixed time Tau, a fixed dT_ref and the actual temperature difference between the layers dT. The partial mass ratio that goes to each layer is calculated by a selectable predefined profile (buoyancyDistribution).
Model was developed by Christian Grozescu in his master thesis Extension of Thermal Storage Models for Energy System Simulations, 2017
