I think there is an error in the documentation or code of the variable local restricion (2P) of the simscape two-phase domain.

in the code, v_in/v_R and v_out/v_R is used:

% Specific volume restriction area ratio

v_area_ratio_in = simscape.function.limit(area_ratio*v_in /v_R, 0, 1, false);

v_area_ratio_out = simscape.function.limit(area_ratio*v_out/v_R, 0, 1, false);

% Factor for mass flow rate vs pressure drop relationship in the turbulent regime

% Based on combined momentum balance for flow area contraction between inlet and restriction

% and sudden flow area expansion between restriction and outlet

K1_tur = (1 + area_ratio)*(1 - v_area_ratio_in) - 2*area_ratio*(1 - v_area_ratio_out);

Does someone have an idea which version is correct?

Kind regards

Felix

Typo in the Documentation. Expected to be fixed in future releases and updates. THANKS for pointing it out!!
