Ale Tank Test

Ale Tank Test keyword provides curve through an engineering approximation when control volume airbags only require two engineering curves to define gas inflator and those two curves can be experimentally measured but the ALE inflator needs one additional state variable - the inlet gas velocity which is impractical to obtain.
