Information

Enumeration to define the formulation of balance equations (to be selected via choices menu):

Dynamics. Meaning
DynamicFreeInitial Dynamic balance, Initial guess value
FixedInitial Dynamic balance, Initial value fixed
SteadyStateInitial Dynamic balance, Steady state initial with guess value
SteadyState Steady state balance, Initial guess value

The enumeration "Dynamics" is used for the mass, energy and momentum balance equations respectively. The exact meaning for the three balance equations is stated in the following tables:

Mass balance
Dynamics. Balance equation Initial condition
DynamicFreeInitial no restrictions no initial conditions
FixedInitial no restrictions if Medium.singleState then
  no initial condition
else p=p_start
SteadyStateInitial no restrictions if Medium.singleState then
  no initial condition
else der(p)=0
SteadyState der(m)=0 no initial conditions
 
Energy balance
Dynamics. Balance equation Initial condition
DynamicFreeInitial no restrictions no initial conditions
FixedInitial no restrictions T=T_start or h=h_start
SteadyStateInitial no restrictions der(T)=0 or der(h)=0
SteadyState der(U)=0 no initial conditions
 
Momentum balance
Dynamics. Balance equation Initial condition
DynamicFreeInitial no restrictions no initial conditions
FixedInitial no restrictions m_flow = m_flow_start
SteadyStateInitial no restrictions der(m_flow)=0
SteadyState der(m_flow)=0 no initial conditions

In the tables above, the equations are given for one-substance fluids. For multiple-substance fluids and for trace substances, equivalent equations hold.

Medium.singleState is a medium property and defines whether the medium is only described by one state (+ the mass fractions in case of a multi-substance fluid). In such a case one initial condition less must be provided. For example, incompressible media have Medium.singleState = true.

Definition

type Dynamics = enumeration(DynamicFreeInitial "DynamicFreeInitial -- Dynamic balance, Initial guess value", FixedInitial "FixedInitial -- Dynamic balance, Initial value fixed", SteadyStateInitial "SteadyStateInitial -- Dynamic balance, Steady state initial with guess value", SteadyState "SteadyState -- Steady state balance, Initial guess value");
