Description

The Compliant Cylinder component models a cylindrical volume with compliant walls and a compressible fluid that consists of a mixture of liquid and a small amount of non-dissolved gas, which is used in an approximate model of cavitation.

The fluid bulk modulus, K, and atmospheric pressure, patm, come from a Fluid Properties record at the same or higher level in the overall model.
