Collection of validation models
Information
This package contains validation models for the classes in
Buildings.Fluid.Movers.
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.

Fans with different control signals as input
Information
This example demonstrates the use of the flow model with four different configurations.
At steady-state, all flow models have the same mass flow rate and pressure difference.
Note that
addPowerToMedium=false since otherwise,
Dymola computes the enthalpy change of the component as a fraction
(k*m_flow+P_internal)/m_flow
which leads to an error because of
0/0 at zero flow rate.

Power calculation comparison among three mover types, using exact power computation for m_flow and dp
Information
This example is identical to
Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Validation.PowerSimplified, except that the
performance data for the flow controlled pumps
pump_dp and pump_m_flow contain
the pressure curves and efficiency curves.
The plot below shows that this leads to a computation of the power consumption
that is identical to the one from the speed controlled pump pump_Nrpm.

Power calculation comparison among three mover types, using simplified power computation for m_flow and dp
Information
This example compares the power consumed by pumps that
take three different control signals.
Each pump has identical mass flow rate and pressure rise.
Note that for the instances
Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowControlled_dp
and
Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowControlled_m_flow,
we had to assign the efficiencies (otherwise the default constant
efficiency of 0.7 would have been used).
In these models, the power consumption is computed
using similarity laws, but using the mass flow rate as opposed
to the speed, because speed is not known in these two models.
This is an approximation at operating points in which
the speed is different from the nominal speed N_nominal
because similarity laws are valid for speed and not for
mass flow rate.
The figure below shows the approximation error for the
power calculation where the speed Nrpm differs from
the nominal speed Nnominal.

Validation model that tests that the pump curve is properly extrapolated to V=0 and dp=0
Information
This example tests whether the construction of the pump curve is correct implemented
for the cases where no data point is given at zero head, zero mass flow rate, or both.
Each pump is identical, but different points on the pump curve are specified.
However, the pump curves are linear and hence, because the pump curves are linearly
extrapolated, all four pumps need to give the same flow rate.
Implementation
The pump curves are such that the protected parameter curve
of the pumps have different values. This then tests the correct extrapolation.

This example provides a validation for the Nrpm model.
A Wilo Stratos 80/1-12 pump is simulated for five different RPMs for load

The resulting curves for the pump head and mass flow rate are plotted
using colored lines over the pump data sheet.
The resulting figures are shown below.

Fan with zero mass flow rate and speed as input
Information
This example demonstrates and tests the use of a flow machine whose mass flow rate is reduced to zero.
The fans have been configured as steady-state models.
This ensures that the actual speed is equal to the input signal.

Pump with linear characteristic for pressure vs. flow rate
Information
This example demonstrates and tests the use of a flow machine whose speed is reduced to zero.
In the top model, the pressure drop across the pump is constant, and in the bottom model,
the mass flow rate across the pump is constant.
In the top model, a small flow resistance has been added since a pump with zero speed cannot
produce a non-zero pressure raise. For this operating region, the pressure drop ensures that
the model is non-singular.
The fans have been configured as steady-state models.
This ensures that the actual speed is equal to the input signal.
