Fluids


Fluids provide the capability to carry out the thermohydraulic analysis and simulation of a piped fluid network which may be connected to a standard ESATAN thermal model. The ability to provide a steady state and transient analysis is also available.


Solving for pressure, mass flow rate and temperature in the fluid loop and for temperature in the thermal model.

Fluids provide a full range of solution algorithms allowing both steady state and true transient analysis of the hydraulic response of fluid networks, with compressibility effects being fully analysed in the latter case.
