functionwindDirectionModifier

Wind direction modifier that is used to compute the wind-driven convective heat transfer coefficient

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function (Icon for functions).

Information

Function that outputs 1 if the incidence angle is below 100 degrees, and 0.5 otherwise. The implementation is once continuously differentiable in its input arguments.

See Buildings.HeatTransfer.Convection.Exterior for an example that uses this function.
