Case study of failure simulation of pipelines conducted in chosen water supply system

Abstract

The main goal of this work is to simulate the failure of water pipe network, using the hydraulic model of the network created through Epanet 2 program. The model includes the cooperation of the second stage pumping station with the expansion tanks located in the network. Based on these parameters, the simulation operation of water supply network was performed, as well as failure simulation on the basis of closing some sections of water pipe network. Failure analysis allowed to perform characteristics of the water supply system including pressure changes that occur in the network during failure simulation.
