As we conclude this journey "under the hood" of hydraulic modeling software, this section will recap the main types of algorithms and the fundamental iterative nature of solving the complex equations that govern water flow in pipe networks.
We've explored how physical laws are translated into mathematical systems, why direct solutions are rarely feasible for real-world systems, and how different iterative techniques — like the Gradient Method, Newton-Raphson methods, and earlier approaches like Hardy Cross — work to find a balanced hydraulic solution. We've also touched upon the crucial role of matrix algebra and the concept of convergence.
