Abstract
In the last three decades, many researchers have proposed different models for water distribution network (WDN) hydraulic analysis by head-driven analysis (HDA). By considering a pressure-discharge relationship (PDR), head-driven analysis (HDA) can avoid deviation caused by traditional demand-driven analysis (DDA) under abnormal conditions. Generally, there are three types of HDA models: 1) models achieved by embedding a PDR into DDA, 2) models using EPANET structures such as emitter or tank to take place of PDR, 3) models aiming at modifying nodal outflows to satisfy PDR based on EPANET. Among these models, modifying nodal outflows is flexible to simulate network with different PDRs and specify parameters related to PDR. Most of the models use iterative algorithms to solve HDA problems; however, present ways to ensure convergence of models are still inadequate. The purpose of this paper is to present a new way to meet the iterative convergence when modifying nodal outflows based on PDR and leakage. This new methodology has been incorporated into the hydraulic network solver EPANET and is formalized algorithmically as EPANET-IMNO. Then two typical networks are used to test EPANET-IMNO, and the results demonstrate that EPANET-IMNO can converge well and applied successfully both in static simulation and extended period simulation. Different pressure deficiency conditions are tested to further confirm the flexibility and the convergence of EPANET-IMNO. Furthermore, quality analysis results back that pressure reduction can be a practical way in contamination accident response.
