Abstract
In some aspects, techniques and systems for modeling fluid flow are described. Pressure gradient values for respective nodes of a one-dimensional flow model are computed. The nodes represent locations of fluid flow along a flow path, and the pressure gradient values are computed based on an approximation of the flow velocity at a point on the flow path. A pressure drop between two opposite ends of the flow path is calculated based on the pressure gradient values. An improved approximation of the flow velocity for the point on the flow path is calculated based on a difference between the calculated pressure drop and a pressure drop boundary condition.
