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	(To be removed) Hydraulic resistance in elbow
Gradual Area Change	(To be removed) Gradual enlargement or contraction
Local Resistance	(To be removed) Hydraulic resistance specified by loss coefficient
Pipe Bend	(To be removed) Hydraulic resistance in pipe bend
Sudden Area Change	(To be removed) Sudden enlargement or contraction
T-junction	(To be removed) 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.
