Thermal Liquid Domain

Flow control system models in the thermal liquid domain

Thermal liquid networks undergo temperature and viscosity changes due to processes internal and external to a block or network. The fluid properties are a function of pressure and temperature.

4-Way Directional Valve with Mechanical Effects

Compares two 4-way directional valves, one with mechanical components to account for spool mass, valve spring and damper and one without (ideal valve). The input force to both valves is a sine wave. The operation of two valves are compared for different displacement frequencies, valve spring stiffness and damper coefficients.
