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
