Title: Calculation of Transient Flow in City's Water Distribution Network
Abstract: In order to prevent against the occurrence of harmful water hammer in complex water distribution system,it is necessary to forecast the pressure fluctuation in the system caused by on / off of pressure-rising pump and opening /closing of some valves by way of transient flow calculation.The pressure fluctuation will sometimes result in the accidents such as pipe bursting and valve splitting.The mathematic model for transient flow calculation set up by characteristic method can be used to forecast the harmful water hammer occurring in operation of the system,and to find the possible occurrence of the maximum(minimum) pressure,so as to provide the theoretic basis for designer to adopt protection measures.
