This model defines the pressure loss assuming turbulent flow for
specified dp_nominal
and m_flow_nominal
.
It takes into account the fluid density of each flow segment and
obtains appropriate pathLengths_nominal
values for an
inverse parameterization of the
TurbulentPipeFlow model. Per default the upstream and
downstream densities are averaged with the setting
useUpstreamScheme = false
, in order to avoid
discontinuous pathLengths_nominal
values in the case
of flow reversal.
The geometry parameters crossAreas
,
diameters
and roughnesses
do not effect
simulation results of this nominal pressure loss model. As the
geometry is specified however, the optionally calculated Reynolds
number as well as m_flows_turbulent
and
dps_fg_turbulent
become meaningful and can be related
to m_flow_small
and dp_small
.
