Simulation of Water Distribution Systems with Breaks

Abstract:

This paper presents a method for simulation of water distribution systems with breaks, in which, the leakage and low supply pressure can be considered. The effects of break location and extent on pressure variation of monitoring stations are simulated by numerical examples. It is shown that, the method can be used for estimating the effected area due to breaks; the high sensitivity may be achieved if monitoring stations are uniformly distributed; pressure variations are linear for small breaks and nonlinear for large ones.
