Testing the tee branch components
- Basic test:
-
model for join case (similar for split case)
-
comparison of tee branch models
-
used for fine tuning of parameters in TeeBranch
-
split case
- dynamic pressure increase
- use substitutional pipes with negative
length
- Adding one pipe to the pressure source:
-
large pressure oscillations due to bad initial values
-
choosing better start pressure → amplitude decreases
- Adding one pipe to the mass flow source:
-
simulation stops with an error
-
Newton solver can't find initial values
-
giving reasonable initial values manually doesn't help
-
only TeeBranch works (with positive pipe length)
- Homotopy initialisation:
-
start with a simplified model to find initial values
-
change model continuously to target model
-
possible with Modelicas homotopy function
-
works for many thermo-fluid models
-
doesn't work here (so far?)
