There is no shortage of conferences serving the water industry. Each of them contributes something to our profession, and attending is usually worthwhile, if not life-changing. But which ones should you attend? You can’t attend all of them, or you...
A key input to a water distribution system model is the demand assigned to locations in the system. For most of the history of modeling and most models today, these demands are based on a known volumetric flow rate. Some,...
A key input to any model with pumps is some form of pump head curve showing flow vs. pump head. Given the curve, the model can tell the user the exact point on the pump curve at which the pump...
These days, I get involved in a lot of discussions about “digital twins”. One of the most common questions is, “What is a digital twin?” With so many people talking about this, you would think that by now there would...
Simulating low pressure in your hydraulic model can identify/confirm the cause of the problem and point you to the right solution....
Another issue lies in the personas who are asking and answering the question. Usually the decision maker (i.e. design engineer or system operator) will ask the modeler, “Is this model calibrated?,” and expect the modeler to answer yes or no....
