Absolute roughness calculation by the friction factor calibration using the Alternative Hydraulic Gradient Iterative Method on water distribution networks

ABSTRACT The main objective of this research is the development of a new formulation for calibration of the head loss universal equation friction factor using the Alternative Hydraulic Gradient Iterative Method for calculating the absolute roughness. The method was applied with the aid of Epanet2.dl...
