modelFlow1Dim_limit

1-D fluid flow model (finite volume discretization - real fluid model). Based on the cell component with limited node enthalpy

Information

Implementation of the Flow1Dim model with the limiter proposed in:

Schulze et al., A limiter for Preventing Singularity in Simplified Finite Volume Methods

It is obtained by connecting in series N Cell1Dim_limit.

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
  • Vapor quality at the center of each cell
  • Pressure in the tube
