modelFlow1DimInc

1-D fluid flow model (finite volume discretization - incompressible fluid model). Based on the Cell component

Information

This model describes the flow of incompressible fluid through a discretized one dimentional tube. It is obtained by connecting in series N Cell1DimInc.

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

  • Enthalpy at each node
  • Enthalpy at the center of each cell
  • Density at the center of each cell
  • Massflow at each node
  • Temperature at the center of each cell
  • Pressure in the tube
