Analysis and Control of Flows in Pressurized Hydraulic Networks

Analysis, design and flow control problems in pressurized hydraulic networks such as water transmission and distribution systems consisting of pipes and other appurtenant components such as reservoirs, pumps, valves and surge devices are dealt with from the prospective of network synthesis aiming at the direct determination of design variables to achieve a specified behaviour of the system under steady state or transient flow conditions.. The book presents an innovative theoretical framework consisting of a generalized network model, necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability and methods/algorithms for the efficient solution of network problems. Presented applications in cases of analysis, design and surge control problems show the advantages that are achieved in problem formulation, problem simplification, performance of the methods of solution and adaptability of the developed framework to a wide variety of problems of the engineering practice.
