Content in developmentA pipe junction node is used to transfer water from one place to another. It can be used to represent a pump station in water supply system.
Rule based ordering
In rule based ordering, to add a new pump junction relationship:
- If current pipe junction (such as pipe junction 1 in the screenshot below) is a destination site to accept pumped water, choose "from" and the source pipe junction site (such as pipe junction 3 in the screenshot below) from the drop down list on the left side of "Add" button.
- The click "Add" button. By doing this, a new pipe connection is added. Water will pump from pipe junction 3 to pipe junction 1. If current pipe junction is a source site to pump water out, you can choose "to" instead of "from" and then the selected pipe junction from the drop down list will be a destination site to accept water.
- Edit "Flow Volume" and "Capacity for Forecast" for this new created connection. These two parameter can be edited as a simple constant, a series of pumped volume record or a function which can refer to any component in the model such as storage water level from upstream or downstream, water requirement that will be met by pumped water etc.
