Hi,
I am modelling a 1 dimensional two-phase fluid network with both smooth pipes and corrugated hose. The smooth pipes were straightforward as there was already a Pipe (2P) block I could use. For the corrugated hose, my understanding is that the head loss is proportional to velocity to the power of 2.31 in Neill’s correlation, and also that friction factor is significantly larger compared to smooth tubes [see https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/19660024205/downloads/19660024205.pdf], which is the reason I cannot use a Pipe (2P) block as it uses velocity squared for head loss and uses other correlations for friction factor. What would be the best way to model a corrugated hose accurately using simscape?
