Abstract:

There are many hydraulic transient software packages around the world. In fact, in 2005 Ghidaoui et al, presented brief descriptions of eleven well known computer models, and prior to proceed listing basic details of which one, they gave the following advice: Due to space limitations, all the water hammer software packages now readily available could not be included in this summary. The reader is encouraged to search out alternatives on the Internet prior to selecting one of the models described herein. And that is, indeed, very true. Searching at the website with the text chain “software packages to perform hydraulic transient analysis” can be found the mentioned in Guidaoui et al, 2005 but also many others. Therefore, the engineer who is looking for this tool, has a wide offer to select the more appropriate one to their needs. A decision that, indeed, must be complemented by the corresponding cost – benefit analysis because most of them are not especially cheap.
