Acquiring knowledge and skills necessary for designing, analysis and management of complex systems for distribution of liquids and gases.

Designing and modelling of pipe networks. Analysis of steady flow in pipe networks. Extended time simulations. Transients in pipe networks. Control and management of systems for distribution of liquids and gases.

Basic equations of steady flow in pipe networks. H- method. Q-method. ?Q-method. Hybrid methods. Specific devices for control and regulation of pipe networks (reservoirs, pump stations, control devices, safety devices) Extended time simulation of pipe networks. Application of mathematical models in pipe networks control and management. Transients in pipe networks. Mathematical model of waterhammer. Mathematical model of oscillatory flow in pipe networks. Transients control in pipe networks.

Lectures: combination of modern (presentations, simulations) and classic (chalk and blackboard). Computational practice (15 weeks): programming simple programs for steady state and extended time simulation of pipe networks, programming simple programs for simulation of transients in pipe networks.
