Information

Test model for the pump characteristics according to dp_tau_centrifugal .

The model compares the legacy formulation (useLegacyReynolds = true) with the corrected formulation (useLegacyReynolds = false).

In particular, the pump pressure rise correctedPump.dp is compared against legacyPump.dp for varying flow rates at design rotational speed.

Time is used as a proxy for the mass flow rate (linear relation): time = 0 corresponds to zero mass flow rate, and time = 1 corresponds to the reference mass flow rate.
Note that time < 0 corresponds to negative mass flow rates.
