Local Hydraulic Resistances

Bends, elbows, and other local resistances to fluid flow

Use these blocks to model pipe flow and resistances in the hydraulics (isothermal) domain.

Simscape Blocks

Elbow	Hydraulic resistance in elbow
Gradual Area Change	Gradual enlargement or contraction
Local Resistance	Hydraulic resistance specified by loss coefficient
Pipe Bend	Hydraulic resistance in pipe bend
Sudden Area Change	Sudden enlargement or contraction
T-junction	Hydraulic resistance of T-junction in pipe

Flow Divider Test Rig

The behavior of a flow divider subjected to varying loads. The model consists of a power unit, flow divider, and two consumers. The power unit is modeled using a flow rate source and a pressure relief valve. The Flow Divider block splits the flow between the two variable orifices.
