How do i go about simulating a pipeline network with simscape/simulink to measure parameters pressure and flowrate in case of leakage. Any guidance or tutorials will be appreciated.
Great question !
I honestly don't know something about simscape/simulink, but from what I know is that to measure the pressure through simulations in case of leakage, I can refer you to an article that got published in "The Institution of Mechanical Engineers" : Article Piezoelectric energy harvesting for tyre pressure measuremen...
It's true that it's applied just for tyre pressure, but since the mechanical fluid equations are generalized for any pressure/flowrate situation, adding to this the Scale's Law; I find that you can get what's important there.
If I might precise more, while conserving the confidentiality of the article, I can say that it might be helpful to know the theoretical equations used in it, the pathway through the Scale's Law to simplify some parameters (which might get adapted to your situation, I find), plus the method they used for simulating the pressure.
What I can say, from my point of view as a student and incoming research intern in this field (your situation especially), is that this article helped me understand the scientific methods used to measure the pressure and simulate it.
I hope this would be helpful in your case, as I'm still a student and not fully experienced in this field, to be honest.
There are better software packages to simulate that. Ecosimpro, pipe desgin, etc...
