Abstract
Numerical simulation of a pipe network system is used to demonstrate the sensitivity of network pipe flows and pressures to changes in surface roughness. The range of values used is from to The results demonstrate that the effects on the performance of the network due to the surface roughness changes for the range investigated are small.
