Information

In this section it is described how the components of the Modelica.Fluid library are implemented. If you would like to introduce new components either in Modelica.Fluid or your own library, you should be aware of the issues discussed in this section.

This section is partly based on the following paper:

Elmqvist H., Tummescheit H., and Otter M.:
Object-Oriented Modeling of Thermo-Fluid Systems. Modelica 2003 Conference, Linköping, Sweden, pp. 269-286, Nov. 3-4, 2003. Download from: https://www.modelica.org/events/Conference2003/papers/h40_Elmqvist_fluid.pdf
Please note that the design of the connectors has been changed with respect to the design presented in that paper.
