Model for heat convection through gas in a window assembly
Model for convective heat tranfer in a single layer of window gas.
Currently, the model only implements equations for vertical windows
and for horizontal windows. The computation is according to TARCOG
2006, except that this implementation computes the convection
coefficient as a function that is differentiable in the
temperatures.
To use this model, set the parameter til to a value
defined in Buildings.Types.Tilt.
If the parameter linearize is set to
true, then all equations are linearized.

Changed homotopyInitialization to a constant.

Added assertion as the gas layer is now by default assigned a dummy
layer with negative thickness. This has been done to avoid a
translation error in OpenModelica.
