This is a partial model of an accumulator. When the hydraulic pressure is higher than the preload pressure, the fluid starts to enter the accumulator:



where

		:	Volume change
		:	Mass flow rate
		:	Fluid density

Implementation

A laminar restriction models the accumulator opening. The conductance of the restriction is put to zero when system pressure is lower than the preload pressure.

Limitations

This class is partial, which means that it cannot be instantiated. It is meant to be inherited by other classes.
