The TUHH is supporting these R&D activities with its competence to elaborate computational models for detailed analysis of complex mechanical systems including fluid flow aspects. The new primary standard is based on a actively driven piston prover to measure the gas flow rate using the time the piston needs to displace a defined enclosed volume of gas in a cylinder. A computational model written in Modelica R is developeto investigate the Flow Comparator’s dynamic behavior. Validation of the model shows good compliance of the piston velocity and differential pressure at the piston in the model with measured data. With this model the control voltage trajectory can be optimized to increase the available measuring time and it allows to gather detailed information about pressure and temperature development at arbitrary chosen locations in the system with high time resolution.enhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/modeling of multi-domain physical systemsflow comparatorhigh pressure natural gas flow meteringlinear motoroptimizationIngenieurwissenschaftenConference Paper10.15480/882.267210.3384/ecp1915767110.15480/882.2672Conference Paper
