.ThermofluidStream.Topology .ThermofluidStream.TopologyThis package provides dedicated splitter and junction models for building directed ThermoFluidStream network topologies.
The library explicitly recommends composing branches and merges using these elements rather than splitting flows purely via connector equations (except for sensor-only use cases).
Using dedicated topology components is also a key structural difference compared to the Modelica Standard Library approach, improving robustness and clarity of network formulation.

All models rely on a consistent medium definition across connected ports. Ensure the selected Medium matches that of all connected components.
