The Analysis of Fluid Networks

A review of both analogue and digital computer methods applied in the solution of the fluid network problem precedes a discussion of computational aspects and a description of the matric topological methods used. A new approach to the problem by ordering according to a Hamiltonian route is considered and a special matrix A defined for the purpose. Some properties of A are investigated and its operational aspects developed using newly created algorithms, especially one for finding such a route in a network. The use of A is explored in this context by applying it to the solution of recently published network examples. The computed results are described in some detail, together with the relevant programs.
