Abstract

The aim of this paper is to numerically study the steady state of water flows in looped networks. This study will be performed by the use of Hardy Cross Method and Newton-Raphson algorithm. The comparison of the numerically obtained results by these two methods to those obtained by the use the commercial software Pipe Flow Expert has shown a good concordance between them. The numerical analysis has shown that the convergence of Newton-Raphson method is more rapid than that of the classic Hardy Cross Method.
