Hydraulic Analysis on Agriculture Irrigation System
Ivor Maasin
I have a short agricultural irrigation system (a main) that provides water to farmers. The head of the system is a canal with a structure that provides a constant head of water elevation during the season. There is no pump to deliver water to the customers…

Large Negative Pressure on model
Ir. Mohd Arzahri Abd Rahman
Hi, I am quite new to this software and am still in the learning process. I'd like to ask regarding a few uncertainties with my model which I believe are parts that I have missed out on. Firstly, I'd like to explain briefly on the background of the…

Flow - pressure relation, emitter coefficient
levon batoyan
Hello, I have a question related to the emitter coefficient of junction. My task is to determine how much will change the flow at the downstream reservoir(which in the program I consider as a junction) if we change pressure breaker elevation for +10m…

Partially Closed Valves in water supply system
levon batoyan
Hello, I'm modeling a high pressured water supply system full of partially closed valves (which people use as some kind of "prv's" to reduce pressure because they don't have enough money to buy it). The information they gave me is D(mm) of a valve,…

Can I associate a pattern of pressure into a junction?
GABRIELLA BARACHO
I'm building a model where I have pressure data in intervals of 15 minutes on a node and I would like to associate this information into the model, making the demands adjusts to obey the pressure measurement curve at the input node. is it possible?

Pressure Spiking in WaterCAD system model
Noah Nieman
Hello All, I am modeling an existing system in WaterCAD version 10.03.02.75, where there are currently low-pressure problems in the far southern area because all the wells are in the northern area. When I run my model, the pressure bounces between low…

Potable Water Distribution Design for communities - use of PRV's
Anthony L
Hi all, I have a general question on the use of PRV's at individual services for a "closed" distribution system, i.e. pumps directly draw from a treated reservoir and feed to end-users with no elevated/pressure tank and storage elsewhere. I have come…

Optimizing pressures in a distribution network
Emma McAlister
I am trying to optimise is the performance of PRVs in a distribution network. Is the Darwin designer the best application to use for this in WaterGEMS? It appears as though I can only select pipes for my design group. Is there a way I can select the all…

RE: Absolute or gauge pressure in hydropneumatic tank results?
MPachlhofer
Yes, the gas pressure is expressed in terms of absolute pressure. This wiki article on modeling a hydropneumatic tank is a modeling reference for the element and should be able to help answer questions that you have on it.
