modelFlowSplit
Information
1. Purpose of model
Splitting a single flow in a higher number of flows according to the flows temperature and a higher number of input temperatures. The number of input temperatures and the number of splitted parts of flow are the same.
2. Level of detail, physical effects considered, and physical insight
No physical effects consideres.
3. Limits of validity
4. Interfaces
ports_in: a single entering fluid flow
ports_out[nOutPorts]: a higher number of outflowing fluid flows
5. Nomenclature
nOutPorts: number of outflowing fluid flows
layerTemperatures[nOutPorts]: according to this temperatures the flow is distributed
distributionExponent: desribes the way the fluid is distributed on the flows. The lower the distributionExponent the more equal is amount of the flows.
