STATIC ANALYSIS

Full -featured and accurate hydraulic modeling is a prerequisite for doing effective water system modeling.

HydrauliCAD accesses the state-of-the-art hydraulic analysis engine "EPANET*"
to provide the following capabilities:

  • places no limit on the size of network that can be analyzed
    computes friction headloss using either Hazen-Williams, Darcy-Weisbach, or Chezy-Manning equations
  • includes minor headlosses for bends, fittings, etc.
  • models constant or variable speed pumps
  • computes pumping energy and cost
  • models various types of valves including shutoff, check, pressure regulating, and flow control valves

Further:

  • allows storage tanks to have any shape (i.e., diameter can vary with height)
  • considers multiple demand categories at nodes, each with its own pattern of time variation
  • models pressure-dependent flow issuing from emitters (sprinkler heads)
  • can base system operation on both simple tank level or timer controls and on complex rule-based controls.
