InfoWorks WS (Water Supply)
From Wallingford Software web site:
InfoWorks WS offers the most effective way to achieve an accurate view of the performance of your network and meet your various objectives. Water quality, the effective management of water supply during drought conditions, the identification of weaknesses in the network infrastructure and many other issues can all be monitored and remedies identified through the development and ongoing maintenance of a high quality all mains model.
InfoWorks WS includes the following simulation modules:
- Dynamic Water Quality Module: analyses water quality components of a water supply network system
- Autocalibration Module: an invaluable tool for fine tuning model calibration
- Fire Flow Analysis Module
- Sediment Module: integrates hydraulic modeling with sedimentation modeling
- InfoWorks ‘Viewer’: everything appears just as it does in InfoWorks WS. It is fully functional with respect to its ability to view data and results in the various graphical and tabular views
Hydraulic Engine
InfoWorks WS uses an enhanced version of the WesNet engine, world renowned for it’s speed and ability to cope with ‘difficult’ networks. The engine is unique in a number of areas, and specifically offers comprehensive modeling of valve and pump behaviour rather than a simplified set of downstream hydraulic conditions offered by most other packages. This advanced capability enables real life pump and valve behaviour to be truly modeled rather than merely represented. Examples include correct sizing of Pressure reducing valves and effects of secondary pumping to a common outlet main. The ability to control simulation tolerance and to continue simulations through critical events enable the modeler to diagnose fully the location and magnitude of any simulation problem.
