Documentation
Ideal diode describing flow between nodes at positive pressure gradient.
Parameters
- R: double
Resistance
Signals
- q: float
Flow through the valve
Module
The Diode module describes flow \(q\) from a proximal to a distal node. The flow \(q\) is a state variable, and its derivative is given by
\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}q = \frac{\Delta p}{R} \text{if} \Delta p > 0\\q = 0 \text{else}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]
