Simple Tank

fullflow.SimpleTank

Isothermal liquid tank with optional hydrostatic head calculation.

SimpleTank represents a tank whose pressure is prescribed and whose thermodynamic state is assumed constant. The component does not solve any conservation equations and is typically used as a simple fluid source, sink, or storage volume in steady-state analyses.

When a liquid height is provided, the hydrostatic head pressure is computed from the liquid density and gravitational acceleration.
