WATHAM

Simulate the transient behaviour of water supply distribution networks.

The specialised tool simulates most enclosed pipe hydraulic installations likely to be met in practice.

It is most often used to assess and protect systems from damage caused by pressure surges.  In systems that transport a very large water mass WATHAM can be used to assess how long it takes the system to respond to equipment changes driven by the automation controls.

WATHAM handles most combinations of:

  c  Pipes

  c  Reservoirs (Tanks)

  c  Pumping stations and pumps

  c  Restrictions

  c  Check valves

  c  Control valves

  c  Pressure relief valves

  c  Surge tanks

  c  Pressure vessels

  c  Air cushions

  c  Air valves

  c  Anti-vacuum valves

  c  Vent-O-Mat^TM air release valves

  c  Small diameter standpipes

 

 

Both WATSYS / WaterMax and WATHAM can be used and licensed as separate products.  Customers have the option of licensing both products in which case WATHAM automatically interfaces with WATSYS / WaterMax to establish the initial, steady state hydraulics.
