Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.Validation
Collection of validation models
Information
This package contains validation models for the classes in Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.
Note that most validation models contain simple input data which may not be realistic, but for which the correct output can be obtained through an analytic solution. The examples plot various outputs, which have been verified against these solutions. These model outputs are stored as reference data and used for continuous validation whenever models in the library change.
Extends from Modelica.Icons.ExamplesPackage (Icon for packages containing runnable examples).

Buildings.Fluid.FixedResistances.Validation.FlowJunctionSteadyState
Test model for the three way splitter/mixer model configured as steady-state
Information
This model validates the use of the splitter and mixer model for different flow directions. The example is configured such that the flow changes its direction in each flow leg between t = 0 seconds to t = 100 seconds. The splitter model has been configured as a steady-state model.

Test model for the three way splitter/mixer model configured as steady-state
Information
This model validates the use of the splitter and mixer model for different flow directions. The example is configured such that the flow changes its direction in each flow leg between t = 0 seconds to t = 100 seconds. The splitter model has been configured as a steady-state model, with no flow resistance.
