Abstract
The experience gained with general computer models of pipe networks, and other complex closed conduit systems, has modified the role of modeling in hydraulic engineering pratice. In fact, the computer modeling based on nodes and general elements has changed the focus of modeling efforts from specific mathematical models, only valid for each type of hydraulic sistem, to element modeling that can be a part of any type of system or global model. This concept improved the versatility of the computational techniques with the need for reliable computational elements.
As an example, this concept is applied to the modeling of cooling water systems.
