Check Valve II

Check valve with continuous variable

 Description The Check Valve II component allows fluid flow in one direction, from port A to port B. This model uses a continuous-variable to model the change from open to closed. In the open-state the valve has a resistance given by ${R}_{\mathrm{open}}$. In the closed-state the valve has a conductance given by ${G}_{\mathrm{close}}$.
 Optional Volumes The boolean parameters Use volume A and Use volume B, when true, add optional volumes ${V}_{A}$  and ${V}_{B}$ to ports A and B, respectively. See Port Volumes for details. If two orfices or valves are connected, enabling a volume at the common port reduces the the stiffness of the system and improves the solvability.
