Improvement of water distribution networks analysis by topological similarity

In this research paper a methodology based on topological similarity is used to obtain starting point of iteration for solving reservoir and pipe network problems. As of now initial starting point for iteration is based on pure guess work which may be supported by experience. Topological similarity concept comes from the Principle of Quasi Work (PQW). In PQW the solution of any one problem of a class is used to solve other complex problems of the same class. This paves way for arriving at a unique concept of reference system the solution of which is used to obtain the starting point for starting the iteration process in reservoir and pipe network problems.
