Program for hydraulic net calculations

Program for hydraulic net calculations

(OP)
Hi all,

I have to study a complex net of piping, with many centrifugal pumps connected in parallel that don't work simultaneously all the time. Do you know any program (free if possible) that can help me?

I need to have the possibility to insert the pump carachteristic curve, not only the working point.

Thanks in advance

EPAnet, available at www.epa.gov for free, it is used to model networks of piping systems for water distribution, the pump section include the ability to enter a multipoint pump curves,  the controls section will enable which pumps operate under which conditions, I assume you are working with water because the equations are based upon Hazen Williams.

I see I can model also hydrants or sprinklers with this program.

Thank you, hydrae.
