Information

This package contains examples that demonstrate how parameter settings and boundary conditions can affect the number and size of algebraic loops.

Either a pressure difference or a mass flow rate is prescribed. The parameter from_dp is set to either true or false. These combinations are applied to a flow network consisting of parallel, series or parallel-series components. By looking at the size of the nonlinear equations between the example and its counter-part that ends in Optimised, one can see whether the symbolic processing optimally converts the system of equations.
