Linear Theory Methods for Pipe Network Analysis

Abstract
A previously unpublished numerical method for the steady-state solution of the flow distribution in a pipe network is presented. It relies on an iterative linearization procedure to solve for junction heads, and is highly suited for use on small computers. Its relationship to other solution methods is explicitly developed. This new method is extremely simple to formulate, and requires minimum data preorganization for computation.
