Furthermore, a simple network selected from literature was analyzed using the three h-based methods. As educational facets of this application was the main focus of this paper, the details of this computer application were step-by-step explained with codes. The output results are also presented in Excel for convenience. The input data should be п¬Ѓrst inserted into Excel spreadsheet while MATLAB codes utilize this data to solve the pipe network. In this paper, three h-based methods for solving WDN including h-based NewtonвЂ“Raphson method, п¬Ѓnite element method, and gradient algorithm are implemented using MATLAB and Excel spreadsheet.
