Fluid Network Interfaces
R2026bUse these blocks to connect different domain networks. You can connect multiple domains with interface blocks to use features in either library.
If a specific component does not yet exist in a domain library, you can build your own using the Simscape™ language. For more information, see Creating Custom Components.
Simscape Blocks
 | Interface (2P-G) | Two-phase fluid and gas network interface |
 | Interface (2P-TL) | Two-phase fluid and thermal liquid network interface |
 | Interface (TL-IL) | Connection between thermal and isothermal networks |
 | Interface (2P-MA) | Two-phase fluid and moist air network interface (Since R2022a) |
 | Interface (G-MA) | Gas and moist air network interface (Since R2022a) |
Featured Examples
EV Battery Thermal Management System
An Electric Vehicle (EV) battery heating-cooling system. Maintaining the battery temperature within an optimal range is important for efficient charging and discharging. The model simulates either the FTP-75 drive cycle or a fast charge cycle at different environment temperatures. A thermal liquid coolant circuit conveys heat between the battery and the heating-cooling unit. For more information on designing EV battery cooling systems, see EV Battery Cooling System Design.
Electric Vehicle Thermal Management
Model the thermal management system of a battery electric vehicle.
Liquid Air Energy Storage System
Models a grid-scale energy storage system based on cryogenic liquid air. When there is excess power, the system liquefies ambient air based on a variation of the Claude cycle. The cold liquid air is stored in a low-pressure insulated tank until needed. When there is high power demand, the system expands the stored liquid air to produce power based on the Rankine cycle.
Vehicle HVAC System
Models the heating and cooling system of a passenger car. The cabin is represented as a volume of moist air exchanging heat with the external environment. The blower drives moist air through the evaporator, blend door, and heater core before returning to the cabin. The blend door controls the amount of air flow through the heater core. The recirculation door controls whether air is brought in from the external environment or from within the cabin.
