Variable length internal flow model of the fully developed incompressible flow friction. Includes optional inertia term when `add_inertia = true` to model wave propagation. Hydraulic ports have equal flow but variable pressure. Density is averaged over the pressures, used to calculated average flow velocity and flow friction.
