Test model for flow function and its inverse

Information

This model tests the inverse formulation of the flow functions. The pressure difference dp and dpCalc need to be equal up to the solver tolerance, except for a small neighborhood around the origin. In this neighborhood around the origin, the functions Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.basicFlowFunction_dp and Buildings.Fluid.BaseClasses.FlowModels.basicFlowFunction_m_flow are not invertible.
