Abstract
Today there is a need for an engineering software package for the simulation of steady or unsteady-flow in pipe networks, providing all information about pressure distribution, solving slow transients and water hammer (Abbott, 1991). An object oriented package can provide a flexible description of a variety of pipes and hydraulic structures such as pumps, valves, reservoirs, surge chambers, feeder tanks and air vessels. The modular structure of such a tool may be based on graphical facilities for the definition and checking of input data, including accurate and fast numerical solvers and an engineering approach to presenting output data. A package structure may benefit from a database platform enabling query-by-example and other modern data handling facilities.
