functionnusseltHorizontalCavityEnhanced

Nusselt number for horizontal cavity, bottom surface warmer than top surface

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

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.
