Lumped parameter model of vane pumps developed in OpenModelica environment

In this paper, the authors present a 0D fluid dynamic model of vane pump used to refill tanks with fuel. The is entirely developed in OpenModelica environment, where have created specific libraries elements suitable for physical modelling power components and systems. Among different approaches, zero-dimension (0D) fluid-dynamic positive displacement machines study many aspects as: instantaneous flow rate, pressure torque transients, borne noise related rate irregularity, behaviour variable control. Overall, approach allows link geometrical features machine its reason particularly useful guiding design. described together main design that can be analysed terms their influence on behaviour. Besides results obtained regarding pump, paper also demonstrates use language efficacy, into applications simulation.
