Strand Networks

This section contains only pure strand nets.

Simple Strand Net

Water network with a tree topology.

alternate Text
water_simple_strand_net(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_simple_strand_net()

Two Pipes

Two pipes connected by a junction.

alternate Text

Water:

water_strand_2pipes(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_strand_2pipes()

Gas:

gas_strand_2pipes(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_strand_2pipes()

Cross

Water network with one intersection and three external grids.

alternate Text
water_strand_cross(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” -> prandtl-colebrook, results_from = “openmodelica” -> prandtl-colebrook or swamee-jain

Returns:

net - STANET resp. OpenModelica network converted to a pandapipes network (method = “prandtl-colebrook”)

Return type:

pandapipesNet

Example:
>>> pandapipes.networks.simple_water_networks.water_strand_cross(results_from="stanet")

Two Pumps

Water network with two sources, two pumps, one external grid and three sinks.

alternate Text
water_strand_net_2pumps(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_strand_net_2pumps()

Pump

Network with one pump between two pipes. Regarding the STANET results, only Nikuradse is available for the water and gas case.

alternate Text

Water:

water_strand_pump()
Returns:

net - STANET network converted to a pandapipes network (method = “nikuradse”)

Return type:

pandapipesNet

Example:
>>> pandapipes.networks.simple_water_networks.water_meshed_pump()

Gas:

gas_strand_pump()
Returns:

net - STANET network converted to a pandapipes network (method = “nikuradse”)

Return type:

pandapipesNet

Example:
