Hytran

Hytran

Hytran is a Windows software package for analyzing HYdraulic TRAN sients or water hammer in pipelines and is written in the object oriented C++ language for Windows environment. Intuitive Windows graphics enable a pipeline to be drawn, input data, edited and ready for analysis in minutes.


Special Features

The Windows environment is ideal for quickly drawing the pipe network and boundary conditions. A pipeline can literally be drawn in minutes. The network may be a simple pipeline with multiple pipes or a complex looped distribution network.

Hytran can attempt a steady state analysis before a transient run and then save the results as the start conditions prior to a transient analysis.

Hytran carries out extensive hysraulic checks to ensure the start conditions are consistent. A run-in time may be used to smooth out minor transients caused by inconsisitency in the input data. A special benefit of the real time trasnient display is that suspect transients can be spotted immedialtely in the form of erratic and sudden appearances of spikes.

Real time display of the instantaneous transients along pipe profile.

View transients at different location in the pipeline network.

Flow direction in pipes showing influence on transients.

Sub atmospheric pressure indicator Column separation indicator when cavitation occurs.

Extensive output plots and text listing View transient plots anywhere at a mouse click.

Hytran carries out extensive network and hydraulic checks to minimize and run time errors or false transients.
