This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.
This function returns the mass flow rate m_flow as function of pressure loss dp for an edged bend. The details of the function are described here.
The bend characteristic is valid for constant density and constant dynamic viscosity. It can be approximately also used for compressible media. This is performed by providing the upstream density and upstream dynamic viscosity. In order to be able to regularize density and dynamic viscosity around zero mass flow rate, the two quantities have to be given if fluid flows from port_a to port_b (d_a, eta_a) and if fluid flows from port_b to port_a (d_b, eta_b).
