Abstract: Rigorous calculations of leakage in water distribution networks (WDNs) requires the adoption of a leakage-pressure relationship and the numerical solution of a set of differential (flow continuity and head loss) equations ...

Abstract: This paper shows the extent to which the application of real-time control techniques can help in reducing the flows discharged from quality oriented combined sewer overflow (CSO) devices in sewer systems. To this end, a ...

Abstract: The various hydraulic and environmental problems related to the accumulation of solids have recently drawn increasingly attention to deposits in the management of sewer systems. Among the mechanical and hydraulic devices ...

Abstract: Sediment trapping behavior of slit-check dams and related design criteria are usually evaluated assuming the hypothesis of steady-state hydraulic conditions associated with the peak of the design flood. A novel approach ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of a numerical investigation aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the real-time control (RTC) of valves in reducing leakage in water supply networks. The investigation was carried out ...

Abstract: Pressure control is a key issue for the reduction of water loss through leakage in municipal water distribution networks (WDNs). The paper presents a general method to calibrate the proportional controllers for the real ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel field-oriented methodology to setup real-time control (RTC) for leakage reduction by pressure control valves in water distribution networks is presented. The paper introduces modalities to address ...
