.Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.nusseltHorizontalCavityEnhanced

Information

Function for Nusselt number in horizontal window cavity. The computation is according to TARCOG 2006, except that this implementation computes the Nusselt number as a function that is differentiable in the temperatures.
