v1.9.0
Created Thursday 10 July 2025
This release is planned for July 2025
Overview
- The new version of ClaRa comes with a new models to simulate water-hammer in pipelines.
- SMArtIInt was updated to support Open Neural Network Exchange models (ONNX) in addition to TensorFlowLite models.
- Improved numerics, new features and bugfixes.
- The ClaRaPlus now uses the SMArtInt and no longer the SMArtIInt. Users need to search for references of SMArtIInt and replace it with SMArtInt in own models.
New Models
- PipeFlowVLE_L4_Advanced_WH_VCM: A model for fluid flow in pipe suitable to simulate water-hammer effects accounting for possible formation of vapour cavity.
- QuadraticFlatTubeFinnedNominalPoint_L4: Gas density dependent quadratic pressure drop model for a flat tube finned HX based on nominal values.
- QuadraticPlateNominalPoint_L4: VLE density dependent quadratic pressure drop model for a plate HX based on nominal values.
New Features
- Minor changes which improve usability of ClaRa and make models more robust and widen the scope of application.
Bugfixes
- Correct VLE species mass balance in VolumeVLEGas_L3.
