Model HydraulicsByFluidon.​Media.​Liquid
Basic graphical layout of input/output block

Information

Model of a hydraulic liquid. The model provides the other components (e.g. pipes) with temperature- and pressure-dependent fluid properties. In order for the fluid properties to reach the other components, the liquid model must be connected to the hydraulic circuit.

The user can choose between the following liquids:

The model provides the following fluid properties as functions of pressure and temperature: As an example, the following diagram shows the variation of density with pressure and temperature for water.

Due to the used mathematical approach, the fluid properties are only valid within a limited range of temperatures and pressures. If the deviations from the actual fluid properties are too large, the custom fluid can be used.

If the effects of undissolved air are to be considered during the simulation, the user can provide the fraction of undissolved air at ambient pressure through the parameter Proportion of undissolved air. The stiffness of the gas bubbles is calculated based on the parameter Polytropic exponent which can assume values between 1.0 (isothermal change of state, slow compression/expansion) and 1.4 (isentropic change of state, fast compression/expansion).

Model HydraulicsByFluidon.​Media.​CustomLiquid
Basic graphical layout of input/output block

Information

Model of a custom hydraulic liquid. The model provides the other components (e.g. pipes) with user-defined temperature- and pressure-dependent fluid properties. In order for the fluid properties to reach the other components, the liquid model must be connected to the hydraulic circuit.

The underlying model is based on the following assumptions:

The density is calculated by the following equation:

The isentropic bulk modulus is given by:

In order to use the component, the following parameters have to be provided by the user:

Because the Isothermal bulk modulus is assumed to be constant, the stiffening of the hydraulic fluid with respect to pressure is not taken into account by the employed model. Therefore, the custom liquid should only be used for pressures and temperatures in the vicinity of the reference values p0 and T0.

If the effects of undissolved air are to be considered during the simulation, the user can provide the fraction of undissolved air at ambient pressure through the parameter Proportion of undissolved air. The stiffness of the gas bubbles is calculated based on the parameter Polytropic exponent which can assume values between 1.0 (isothermal change of state, slow compression/expansion) and 1.4 (isentropic change of state, fast compression/expansion).
