modelFlow1DConst

1-D fluid flow model (finite volume discretization - ideal fluid model)

Information

This model describes the flow of a constant heat capacity fluid through a discretized one dimentional tube. It is obtained by connecting in series N CellConst

The model is characterized by a SummaryClass that provide a quick access to the following variables once the model is simulated:

  • Temperature at each nodes
  • Temperature at the center of each cell
