We can see on Simscape an element called Variable Local Restriction (2P) and one of its parameter is: Flow discharge coefficient

The descriptions says:

Ratio of the actual to the theoretical mass flow rate through the restriction. The discharge coefficient is an empirical parameter used to account for non-ideal effects such as those due to restriction geometry. The default value is 0.64.

But how this can be empirically tuned? How it affects the pressure and flow?

'

' or Flow discharge coefficient is a parameter introduced to account for the difference between ideal(theoretical) mass flow rate and the observed mass flow rate. From the documentation (Variable local restrictions), we can observe that:

(Where

is the mass flow rate from port 'a')

Therefore, it determines the mass flow rate through port 'a', which in turn affects the pressure.
