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

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.

alternate Text
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:

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

Two Valves

A mesh with two opened valves has been placed in the net.

alternate Text
