Extended-period simulation (EPS)

tank level vs time

EPS steps the network through time: at each step it solves the steady hydraulics, then integrates tank levels from the net flow and advances demands along their time patterns.

เมื่อไรจึงใช้
  • Tank fill/drain studies, diurnal demand curves, storage sizing — how the system behaves over hours, not one instant.

Time step & durationThe integration step Δt and total run length.
Demand patternsPer-node multiplier vs time applied to the base demand.
Tank geometryArea/diameter — converts net flow into a level change.
คำนวณอย่างไร

A quasi-steady march: solve the GGA at the current levels/demands, integrate each tank’s volume by its net flow over Δt, update levels, advance the patterns, repeat. Emptied or overflowed tanks raise a loud scope note.

สมการ
Tank mass balance
Integrated each step as ΔV = Q_net·Δt; the level follows from the tank geometry.
Level update (constant area)
A_tank = cross-sectional area. A non-prismatic tank uses its volume–level curve instead.
Time-varying demand
M(t) = the node’s pattern multiplier at time t.
