Inductance No Volumes $—$ Theoretical inductance of an oil column

The InductanceNoVolumes component describes the theoretical inductance (that is, inertia) of an oil column. If the pressure at one port falls below the vapor pressure, the flow rate drops to zero. Neither the velocity profile nor the experimentally observed increase in moving mass is modeled. Use the modifier

q(start=1e-6,fixed=true)

to set the initial condition for the flow rate of the inductance [${m}^{3}$/$s$].
