Method for simulating the ventilation of a liquid tank
First Claim
1. A method for simulating the ventilation of a liquid tank (1,101), in particular a liquid fuel tank of a vehicle, comprising an internal volume (3,103), a wall (2,102) that defines said internal volume (3,103), and a set of valves (4a,4b;
- 104) for ventilation of the internal volume, said method comprising the calculation of a maximum liquid volume that can be ventilated (14,114) for a maximum angle of inclination of the tank (1,101), this method also comprising the calculation of at least one maximum liquid volume that can be ventilated (14,114) for at least one intermediate angle of inclination below said maximum angle, but above zero.
