This model with lumped volumes describes laminar flow. The conductance is controlled by the normalized signal sNorm, which varies between 0 and 1. The flow is given by the equation:



where

		:	Mass flow rate
		:	Fluid density
G		:	Conductance of the restriction
		:	Pressure difference between ports a and b

Limitations

This model is only valid for laminar flow. No checks are made if it is physically possible that the flow through the component actually is laminar.
