modelFlow1DDB

1-dimensional fluid flow model for water or steam flow (finite volumes, Dittus-Boelter heat transfer)

Extends from Flow1D (1-dimensional fluid flow model for water/steam (finite volumes)).

Information

This model extends Flow1D by computing the distribution of the heat transfer coefficient gamma and making it available through an extended version of the wall connector.

This model can be used in the case of one-phase water or steam flow. Dittus-Boelter's equation [1] is used to compute the heat transfer coefficient.
