The networks have been generated applying the extensive range of options, random and non-
random, and assigning the properties uniformly, randomly or applying coordinates and
optimised diameters; one example of the settings is shown in Table 4.14.

Table 4.14 Assigned parameters for complex networks

Parameter Assigned value

Elevation Randomised: 0 to 20 msl

Demand Randomised: 1 to 5 l/s

Reservoir head Fixed: 60 msl

Length Variable: calculated from coordinates

Diameter Uniform: 300 mm

Roughness Uniform: 0.5 mm

The selection of generated layouts has been shown in Figures 4.22 to 4.24, for each set of
junctions, respectively.
