摘要:
This note suggests a technique for including pressure dependent demand and leakage terms in simulation models for water distribution systems. Empirical functions are used to relate consumer outflows and leakage losses to the network pressures and the inclusion of these functions in the mathematical formulation of the network analysis problem is described. An application to an existing distribution system is presented where it is shown that the extended network model proposed leads to more realistic simulation results when the network pressures are too low to provide specified consumer demands, or high enough to cause significant leakage losses. It is also found that the computational requirements of network analysis and simulation are not significantly affected by the inclusion of the additional terms.
