Overview

A number of commercial software for transient simulation in water distribution systems are available in the market; however, the use of these software for research purposes is limited. The major restriction is due to the fact that the programs are packed as black boxes, and the source code is not visible, thus prohibiting any changes, including modification of existing and implementation of new elements, in the source code. Therefore, the authors find it imperative to develop an open source package rendering easiness for interaction, modification, and extension.

Features

TSNet is a Python package designed to perform transient simulation in water distribution networks. The software includes capabilities to:

• Create water network models based on .inp files
• Generate transient events by operating valves and pumps
• Add disruptive events including pipe bursts and leakages
• Perform transient simulation using MOC method
• Visualize results

Version

TSNet is a ongoing research project in the University of Texas at Austin. The current version is 0.1.0, which is still a pre-release.
