Meshed Networks¶
In Meshed Networks, all networks are grouped that have a purely meshed topology.
Delta¶
One of the example nets to check the correctness of the signs in the calculation of flow velocities. Regarding the STANET results, only Nikuradse is available for the water case and Prandtl-Colebrook for the gas case.

Water:
- water_meshed_delta(results_from='openmodelica', method='colebrook')¶
- Parameters
results_from (str, default "openmodelica") – Which converted net should be loaded: openmodelica or stanet
method (str, default "colebrook") – results_from = “stanet” -> nikuradse, results_from = “openmodelica” -> prandtl-colebrook or swamee-jain
- Returns
net - STANET resp. OpenModelica network converted to a pandapipes network
- Return type
pandapipesNet
- Example
>>> pandapipes.networks.simple_water_networks.water_meshed_delta(results_from="stanet")
Gas:
- gas_meshed_delta()¶
- Returns
net - STANET network converted to a pandapipes network (method = “prandtl-colebrook”)
- Return type
pandapipesNet
- Example
>>> pandapipes.networks.simple_gas_networks.gas_meshed_delta()
Pumps¶
Triangular net with 2 pumps and with differences in heights. Regarding the STANET results, only Nikuradse is available for the water and gas case.

Water:
- water_meshed_pumps(results_from='openmodelica', method='colebrook')¶
- Parameters
results_from (str, default "openmodelica") – Which converted net should be loaded: openmodelica or stanet
method (str, default "colebrook") – results_from = “stanet” -> nikuradse or prandtl-colebrook, results_from = “openmodelica” -> prandtl-colebrook or swamee-jain
- Returns
net - STANET resp. OpenModelica network converted to a pandapipes network
- Return type
pandapipesNet
- Example
>>> pandapipes.networks.simple_water_networks.water_meshed_pumps(method="swamee")
Gas:
- gas_meshed_pumps()¶
- Returns
net - STANET network converted to a pandapipes network (method = “nikuradse”)
- Return type
pandapipesNet
- Example
>>> pandapipes.networks.simple_gas_networks.gas_meshed_pumps()
Heights¶
Water network to determine the correct determination of height values from OpenModelica to pandapipes.

- water_meshed_heights(method='colebrook')¶
- Parameters
method (str, default "colebrook") – which results should be loaded: prandtl-colebrook or swamee-jain
- Returns
net - OpenModelica network converted to a pandapipes network
- Return type
pandapipesNet
- Example
>>> pandapipes.networks.simple_water_networks.water_meshed_heights()
Two Valves¶
A mesh with two opened valves has been placed in the net.

Water:
- water_meshed_2valves(results_from='openmodelica', method='colebrook')¶
- Parameters
results_from (str, default "openmodelica") – Which converted net should be loaded: openmodelica or stanet
method (str, default "colebrook") – results_from = “stanet” -> nikuradse or prandtl-colebrook, results_from = “openmodelica” -> prandtl-colebrook or swamee-jain
- Returns
net - STANET resp. OpenModelica network converted to a pandapipes network
- Return type
pandapipesNet
- Example
>>> pandapipes.networks.simple_water_networks.water_meshed_2valves(method="swamee-jain")
Gas:
- gas_meshed_two_valves(method='nikuradse')¶
- Parameters
method (str, default "nikuradse") – Which results should be loaded: nikuradse or prandtl-colebrook
- Returns
net - STANET network converted to a pandapipes network
- Return type
pandapipesNet
- Example
>>> pandapipes.networks.simple_gas_networks.gas_meshed_two_valves()
Square¶
Gas network with square arrangement of junctions and height informations.

- gas_meshed_square(method='nikuradse')¶
- Parameters
method (str, default "nikuradse") – Which results should be loaded: nikuradse or prandtl-colebrook
- Returns
net - STANET network converted to a pandapipes network
- Return type
pandapipesNet
- Example
>>> pandapipes.networks.simple_gas_networks.gas_meshed_square(method="n")
