Water flows & pressures in a distribution system
Water flows & pressures in a distribution system
(OP)
I just started work as a design engineer for a local water distribution company. What I need is a better understanding of how flows and pressures work within the system and the effect that fittings have on them. Its all pretty new to me and I'm struggling to find any decent literature on the subject. If anyone can be of help I would be eternally grateful!

Valves and fittings are usually ignored in many analyses and networks are "skeletonized" by leaving out very small pipes to rduce the calculation time with only a small loss in accuracy.

Fittings headlosses go up with the square of line velocity.
