Comparación de metodologías para la distribución espacial del emisor global de fugas en modelos hidráulicos de redes de distribución de agua potable.

Abstract

In the present work the subject of the calibration of hydraulic models of drinking water distribution networks has been approached in which the leakage distribution process is focused, taking as a starting point the calibration methodology proposed by (Molina, 2014), adding a variable, the same one that consists of defining new methods of distribution due to the difficulty of the already raised one. Two case studies will be modeled, in which the aforementioned calibration methodology will be applied, within which three global leak emitter distribution methodologies will be used, which are equitable, by number of connections and by demand. In this way we will try to verify which of these methodologies is the most convenient to use within the calibration process, taking into account the speed of convergence in the calibration and the number of variables to be calculated. Defining in this way the fastest and easiest method to execute.
