Modeling a tee branch
- Tricky device:
- several modes (split, join)
- complicated physics
- focus here on pressure loss
- TeeJunction in MFL:
- only mixing, no pressure loss
- FluidDissipation library:
-
free package for pressure loss and heat transfer
- complex modeling of experimental knowledge
- functions for tee branch using interpolation
and regularisation
- TeeBranchFD, TeeBranchXRG (simplified)
- Simplified version (TeeBranch1):
-
only split/join along straight direction
- neglects density changes
- uses simple interpolation polynoms
- TeeBranch1C introduces variable densities
- Substitutional pipes (TeeBranch):
-
use pipes at outgoing junctions for pressure loss
- length of pipes from experience with large
networks
- very rough, but used in practice
