.IDEAS.Airflow.Multizone.BaseClasses.interpolate

Information

This function returns the value on a cubic hermite spline through the given support points and provided spline derivatives at these points with monotonically increasing values. The last 2 points in the table are linearly interpolated.

A similar model is also used in the CONTAM software (Dols and Walton, 2015).

This function is used in IDEAS.Airflow.Multizone.Table_m_flow and IDEAS.Airflow.Multizone.Table_V_flow
