Abstract:

Several hydrodynamic simulation models have already been developed for gravitational and pressurized drinking water networks. The simulation of different transport types is based on different mathematical and physical models. Both the gravitational and pressure type models can simulate the selected transport type appropriate, while simulation of the other type is missing or only approximate. However, the complex, mixed networks are including both gravitational and pressurized parts. The exact simulation of mixed networks needs the connection of the gravitational and pressurized elements. We developed a new coupling method for mixed models. The introduced new objects, their functions and operations are presented. The coding of a new coupled simulation software for mixed systems can be based on the presented methods.
