ANALYSIS AND DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS

Abstract
The paper characterizes an information-computation technology for a remote application of modern methods of the hydraulic circuit theory in modeling multi-loop pipeline water and gas supply systems using a standard Internet browser. The goals, problems and calculation methods of flow distribution in hydraulic circuits as well as the principles of this technology implementation are presented. The suggested object-oriented approach to modeling pipeline systems rests on the object-oriented programming style. This style implies that an object has internal properties and methods. A distinctive feature of this approach lies in the principle of separating the objects with a common value from the objects related to the specificity of an object to be modeled. This allows a multiple application of once implemented common methods in different software packages, the development of calculation components without their reprogramming, which eventually accelerates the adoption of these methods for different types of pipeline systems, classes of problems to be solved and application areas. The proposed technology is implemented as a distributed software package that has client-server architecture. This enables developers to timely update the components on the server and provide users with an up-to-date program version without the program reinstallation at workplaces. The principles of the software implementation make it possible to perform calculations anytime, anywhere and for any number of users, provided there is a connection to the global net, the Internet. This application can be used in various areas (energy sector, housing and public utilities, building sector, etc.), activities (design, operation, dispatching control, research and education), and by users of various levels (engineers, postgraduates, students, etc.). The results of the studies of its computational efficiency are presented.
