Abstract: A genetic algorithm has been applied to the optimal design and rehabilitation of a water distribution system. Many of the previous applications have been limited to small water distribution systems, where the computer time ...

Abstract: In this paper a method that determines the steady-state hydraulics of a water distribution system, the graph matrix partitioning algorithm (GMPA), is presented. This method extends the technique of separating the linear ...

Abstract: The application of inverse transient analysis (ITA) to estimate the location and magnitude of lost lining and internal corrosion of metal pipelines is demonstrated for a field pipeline. The method uses a transient model ...

Abstract: The Newton-based global gradient algorithm (GGA) (also known as the Todini and Pilati method) is a widely used method for computing the steady-state solution of the hydraulic variables within a water distribution system ...

Abstract: The simulation of hydraulic transients within fluid line networks is important for many applications (for example, water hammer analysis within distribution networks). However, in many instances, modeling efforts are impeded ...

Abstract: Hydraulic transient field tests have been conducted in a water distribution network. Existing transient models are applied to model the measured responses, but poor matches are obtained apart from the estimation of the ...
