Setting the task of automating the method of designing the longitudinal profile of engineering networks

Abstract

The article considers the task of automating the construction of a longitudinal profile of engineering water
supply networks. A technique based on the use of geometric data of the pipeline route and hydraulic
calculations is proposed. The software architecture includes modules for input of initial data, calculation
of profile parameters and visualization of results. As part of the study, a program code was implemented
that was used to perform a hydraulic calculation of the engineering network. The calculation of pressure
losses is carried out using basic hydraulic formulas such as the Darcy–Weisbach equation. As an example,
the calculation results for a typical water supply system are shown, demonstrated by a graph of pressure
loss changes along the route of the water supply network. The developed software package simplifies and
speeds up the calculations, which is confirmed by the analysis of the results.
