Var Lam Res No States $—$ Resistance with laminar flow, variable conductance

The Var Lam Res No States component describes the laminar flow through a resistance with variable conductance. The flow rate of the resistance is given by

$q=G\mathrm{Δp}$

Variables used in the above equation

 q Flow rate $\left[\frac{{m}^{3}}{s}\right]$ G Conductance, input at signal connector as commandedConductance $\left[\frac{{m}^{3}}{s\mathrm{Pa}}\right]$ $\mathrm{Δp}$ Pressure drop across resistance $\left[\mathrm{Pa}\right]$

Equations to calculate the conductance G are given in the manual for several components. A conductance of G = 4.167e-13 $\frac{{m}^{3}}{s\mathrm{Pa}}$ leads to a flow rate of 1 $\frac{l}{\mathrm{minute}}$ at 4e7 $\mathrm{Pa}$. As the critical Reynolds number depends on the component, there is no check whether the flow is actually laminar or turbulent.

Related Components

 Name Description Resistance with laminar flow. 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. Same as Orifice No States, but with the equations rearranged to compute $\mathrm{Δp}$ for given q.
