Robust Simulation of Stream-Dominated Thermo-Fluid Systems: From Directed to Non-Directed Flows

Abstract

. A new robust and efficient formulation for stream-dominated thermal fluid systems has been de-veloped and published as open-source library. This methodology has been predominantly designed for and applied on systems with known flow direction. Since it is not directly evident how it is transferred to systems with unknown flow direction, this paper details the implementation in the corresponding library. As an example, a reversible heat-pump is presented.
