Abstract
In this paper, a new method categorized as a modification to the Q–h equations is proposed for the analysis of pipe networks. The method is inspired by the Kani method which is used for analysis of structural frames. The new method can be considered as an iterative procedure which does not require a large system of nonlinear equations to be solved simultaneously. The main advantages of the proposed method are relative simplicity in formulation and programming, and rapid and smooth convergence of initially guessed values. To show the robustness and convergence of the present method, several pipe networks are analyzed, and the results are compared with those of the conventional methods.
