Orifice N $—$ Orifice with laminar/turbulent flow without cavitation

The Orifice N component describes the laminar/turbulent flow through an orifice if no cavitation occurs. The flow rate of the orifice is given by:

$\mathrm{Δp}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{K\mathrm{\rho }{q}^{2}}{{A}^{2}}$

$K=\frac{{k}_{1}}{\Re }+{k}_{2}$

Variables used in the above equations

 $\mathrm{Δp}$ pressure drop across orifice $\left[\mathrm{Pa}\right]$ $K$ loss coefficient $\mathrm{\rho }$ mass density, from FluidProp $\left[\frac{\mathrm{kg}}{{m}^{3}}\right]$ $q$ flow rate $\left[\frac{{m}^{3}}{s}\right]$ $A$ area of the orifice $\left[{m}^{2}\right]$ ${k}_{1}$ parameter of the orifice, describes laminar flow ${k}_{2}$ parameter of the orifice, describes turbulent flow, ${k}_{2}=\frac{1}{{C}_{d}^{2}}$ $\Re$ Reynolds number

The equations are set up such that the pressure drop ($\mathrm{Δp}$) will be calculated if the flow rate $q$ is known. This approach can help with HWIL-simulations because no volumes are needed. The mass and flow forces are not included.

Related Components

 Name Description Resistance with laminar flow. Resistance with laminar flow and externally commanded conductance. The component, based on the loss coefficient K, describes both flow regimes: laminar for very small Reynolds numbers and turbulent for higher Reynolds numbers (default model). The component describes both flow regimes, using an interpolation polynomial. Orifice component checking for cavitation. Simple textbook component, using a constant discharge coefficient. It is valid for turbulent flow only; severe numerical problems for laminar flow. Metering Orifice (that is, model Orifice No States with variable diameter). Two orifices in series, one with variable the other with fixed flow area. Differences between basic models are shown by a figure.
