modelDryHydrostatic

calculation of the volume flow rate using the dry pressure loss and the hydrostatic pressure loss2

Extends from BasicPressureLossPlate (basic pressure loss model for a plate column).

Information

The pressure loss correlation was taken from [1]. It uses a zeta-value which is specific to the plate type used and has to be supplied in the geometry record.
