Determining the quantitative parameters of the hydraulic model of combined irrigation systems based on the computer calculations algorithmization
Purpose: development of a computer algorithm for a quantitative assessment of the hydraulic parameters of an irrigation and drainage system with the possibility of integrating different irrigation methods. Materials and methods. The design of structures for combined irrigation is based on hydraulic calculation. A feature of such systems is the ability to change irrigation methods, which is associated with a significant change in hydraulic parameters and the complication of hydraulic design of structures. Automation of hydraulic calculations based on a universal computer algorithm is the most acceptable way to solve the problem and the basis for designing combined irrigation systems. Results. A feature of the proposed algorithm for determining the quantitative parameters of the combined irrigation system is the use of a step-by-step approach followed by the formation of a generalized hydraulic screenshot of the entire structure. A screenshot of hydraulic parameters here means a quantitative assessment of hydraulic indicators for all nodal points of a structure, implemented by a calculation method for given, stationary modes of system operation. A set of this kind of static screenshots allows you to evaluate the process in dynamics, as well as to carry out comparative assessments of hydraulic parameters under different operating modes of the combined irrigation system. The algorithm offers an original way to identify objects based on the use of a linear coordinate system. The method makes it possible to organize an enumeration of the structural elements of the system and a step-by-step calculation of hydraulic parameters from the inlet section of the design segment to any given nodal point. Conclusions. The calculation results according to the proposed algorithm make it possible to form a specially organized data array, which is a set of symbolic-numeric values that determine the pressure level and water flow rate and identify them with the nodal point of the system.
