.. index:: connections preprocessing

.. _connections_preprocessing:

Preprocessing
-------------

Right before the actual run is solved, the model the user uploaded is
preprocessed (cf. :numref:`model_initflow`). This has a particular meaning for connections and can be
described by two different phases:

 1. Initialisation of the ``*_i_to_j`` columns.
 2. Symmetrization of the ``*_j_to_i`` columns.    


.. index:: initialisation

Step 1: Initialisation
""""""""""""""""""""""

:term:`Initialisation <initialisation>` deals with the ``*_i_to_j`` columns. 
**This phase does not directly affect the** ``*_j_to_i`` **ones**.

For each row of the model, any **empty or blank** cell within the ``*_i_to_j``
columns will be set to ``0.0``.


.. index:: symmetrization

Step 2: Symmetrization
""""""""""""""""""""""

:term:`Symmetrization <symmetrization>`  deals with the ``*_j_to_i`` columns. **This phase never
affects the** ``*_i_to_j`` **ones**.

This "symmetrisation" process means that connections are assumed
symmetric by default.

The user shall fill the ``*_i_to_j`` columns. ``*_j_to_i`` is not
mandatory. The empty ``*_j_to_i`` columns will be automatically copied
from ``*_i_to_j``.

A connection may be partially symmetric. For example, a connection may
have the same discharge coefficient (`cp`) for both ways, but different
venting area. In this case, only the asymmetric values need to be
filled.


.. _connections_examples:

Common examples
---------------

The following examples show the most common connections and propose the 
best way to idealize them.

.. index:: 
     double: decompression feature; passive venting (symmetric)

Passive vent
""""""""""""

Passive vents are the most simple connections.  Passive vents are always
symmetrical (although you may define unsymmetrical venting area).

    Passive vent (defined as a grid) between volumes 2 and 7

Example: A connection (ID19) is a passive vent (symmetric) between volumes
2 and 7. The total vent area is 0.3m^2, with a discharge coefficients of 0.4.
Such a feature is shown at :numref:`passive_vent`.


The ESonix pre-process phase would prepare the full connection as described
below (in bold the default values determined by ESonix). Pay attention to the
*symmetrization* process to fill the ``_j_to_i`` columns.

Standard decompression panel (Bi-directionnel)
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Decompression panels are activated once the delta pressure pushing on it reach a target value.
It is most of the time *fully symmetric*: the same delta pressure threshold
triggers the mechanism and the same vent area is cleared.

    Standard Decompression panel between volumes 2 and 7 (designed with
    ball-catch for this particular example)

Example: A decompression panel defines the connection ID19. The total released area is 0.5m^2. The panel opens
for a pressure of 1.5bar, and is assumed to open instantaneously (``opening_time`` = 0).
Such a feature is shown at :numref:`simple_decomp_panel`.


The ESonix pre-process phase would prepare the full connection as described
below (in bold the default values determined by ESonix). Pay attention to the
*symmetrization* process to fill the ``_j_to_i`` columns.

    Unidirectional decompression panel between volumes 2 and 7 

Example: Same example as above, but the panel can only open from 7 to 2.
Such a feature is shown at :numref:`blind_decomp_panel`.

One way to achieve this is to reduce ``vent_area_i_to_j`` to 0 (no vent area
from 2 to 7), and to set ``vent_area_j_to_i`` to 0.3.

.. warning:: once the panel is open the air can freely flow in both direction. If the differential pressure inverts the air flow from "i_to_j" will be based on the actual calculated opened area with the discharge coefficient "cp_i_to_j". Therefore this discharge coefficient should be always specified.

.. note:: another way of achieving a unidirectional decompression panel opening would be to set an artificially high opening pressure in the opposite direction.

    Nested differential Decompression panel between volumes 2 and 7 

Example. As shown in :numref:`nested_panel`, a decompression feature (let say
with ID 23) can open in both directions with the same triggering pressure, but
with different area. This would be achieved this way:

Simple non-decompressing door 
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

A non-decompressing :term:`door` is considered as a *passive* vent when the *opened-doors* configuration
is ran. No more data except ``door`` and ``cp_i_to_j`` are required (beside
``id``, ``vol_j`` and ``vol_j``!)

    Simple non-decompressing door between volumes 2 and 7 


Example: A simple 2.2m² door (let say ID9) connects
compartments 2 and 7 (cf. :numref:`non_decompressing_door`).  

Usually, such a big clean vent is assumed to have a
discharge coefficient of 0.8. When the decompression analysis is ran with the 
*closed-doors* initial conditions, this venting is ignored (the door is closed
and will remain closed) whereas for the *opened-doors* initial conditions, the
full door is opened and will remain opened as a 2.2m² passive vent.

Simple decompressing door
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

A decompressing :term:`door` is considered to clear its full frame area when the
:math:`\Delta_P` reach the triggering pressure. For an *opened-door* initial
condition run, the decompressing feature will not be active, since the door
itself is already opened.

This kind of decompression item is usually **not symmetric**: the static door frame allows the
door to rotate only in one direction.

    Simple decompressing door between volumes 2 and 7 


Example: The same example as above is used, except that the door is able 
to open from 7 to 2 when  :math:`\Delta_P` reaches 1.5bar. Additionnally, an
opening time of 0.3 seconds will be used. Will still need to set the discharge
coefficient for ``i_to_j`` since the door will be opened for the *opened-door*
initial conditions.

Door nesting a decompression panel
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Contrary to the example above (:ref:`simple_decompression_door_example`), the door has no
decompression mechanism, but hosts a nested decompression panel (cf.
:numref:`door_with_nested_panel`).

For illustration purposes, and to keep a certain level of complexity,
the nested panel is considered blind --opening only from volume 2 to volume 7--
which is not common.

The door itself will not be triggered with maximum Δp. However its 1.05m²
nested panel will, only from volume 2 to volume 7. 

Values for ``i_to_j`` data has to be filled, and values for ``j_to_i`` as well,
but set to 0 to avoid :term:`symmetrization` (at least for the ``vent_area``),
as shown in :numref:`door_with_nested_panel_table`).

.. warning:: It is often a bad idea to define the panel as another item
    (another row) as the door. Indeed, in the latter case,
    during an opened-door load case, the panel will still be active and may
    be triggered, adding a new vent area that shouldn't be!
