modelVolumeFlowSource
Volume flow source (either fixed or variable)
Extends from Icons.RunOff (Run off model icon).
Information
Can be used as an ideal volume flow source. Either with a fixed volume flow defined by Vdot_0
or via the input connector inFlow.
In addition the input can be passed through a first order filter which is sometimes necessary
for numerical reasons depending on the nature of the input data stream.
Parameters
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|
| SI.VolumeFlowRate | Vdot_0 | 1 | Fixed outlet flow. |
| Boolean | useInput | false | If checked, the outlet flow is determined by the input connector. |
| Boolean | useFilter | false | If checked, pass the inpput signal through a first order filter. |
| SI.Time | T_f | 0.01 | Time constant of the first order filter. |
| Geometry |
| Boolean | fixElevation | false | If true (fixed), z_0 is enforced as initial value; if false (derived), elevation is determined by connected topology |
| SI.Position | z_0 | 0 | Elevation of the outlet connection |
