Course Description
his introductory course offers a hands-on, practical approach to mastering OpenFlows HAMMER, a leading software tool for hydraulic modeling and transient analysis. Designed for engineers, utility professionals, and students alike, the course walks you through the core principles of modeling water distribution systems under unsteady flow conditions.
Starting from the basics, you will learn how to navigate the software interface, set up network models, and run simulations without surge protection. As you progress, you will implement various protective devices such as hydropneumatic tanks, surge valves, and air valves, analyzing their effects through visual tools and reporting features. You’ll also explore advanced evaluations like multiple protection points and risk analysis, finishing with a complete overview of the OpenFlows suite.
This course emphasizes applied learning through structured exercises, real-world simulation scenarios, and interpretive data analysis—equipping you with the confidence to manage complex hydraulic modeling challenges using OpenFlows HAMMER.

Goals
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:- Understand the fundamentals of transient analysis in water distribution systems
- Navigate the OpenFlows HAMMER interface and input hydraulic parameters
- Build and simulate pipe networks under various surge and non-surge conditions
- Apply and assess surge protection methods such as tanks, valves, and relief systems
- Evaluate system risks and performance using visualization tools and output reports
- Identify which OpenFlows tools complement HAMMER in broader hydraulic design projects
Prerequisites
No prior experience with OpenFlows HAMMER is required. A basic understanding of hydraulic systems or fluid mechanics is recommended.
