Analysis, Modelling and Planning the Communal Sewarage Systems

The hydraulic calculations of sewage networks are done ususally by the use of nomograms being the diagrams that show the relation between the main network parameters like pipe diameters, flow rates, hydraulic slopes and flow velocities. In traditional planning of sewage networks the appropriate hydraulic values are read mechanically from the the nomograms. Another way of calculation is the use of professional programs like the SWMM5 hydraulic model and genetic or heuristic optimization algorithms. In the paper still another way of realizing the hydraulic and planning calculations is presented in which the basic hydraulic rules and formulas describing the sewage networks and their functioning are used. The numerical solutions of nonlinear equations resulted from the formulas and describing the main phenomena of sewage flows are used in the paper to solve the tasks of hydraulic calculation and planing of the networks.
