Abstract: Commonly, water distribution networks have many treed or branched subgraphs. The equations for these systems are often solved for the steady-state flows and heads with a fast implementation of Newton’s method such as the ...

Abstract: In recent years, a number of new water distribution system (WDS) solution methods have been developed. These methods have been aimed at improving the speed and reliability of WDS simulations. However, to date, these methods ...

Abstract: Many water distribution system (WDS) solution methods have been developed to perform demand-driven steady-state analysis. These methods are used to solve the nonlinear system of equations that model a WDS. WDS networks ...

Abstract: The occurrence of bursts in water pipelines can not only prevent the system from functioning properly, but it can also produce significant water loss that disrupts activities in urban areas. Therefore, the detection and ...

Abstract: Water losses through leakage represent a significant problem for asset management in water distribution systems. The interpretation of fluid transient pressure waves after the generation of a transient event has been ...

Abstract: Condition assessment of water pipelines using fluid transient waves is a noninvasive technique that has been investigated for the past 25 years. Approaches to identify different anomalies and to identify elements of ...

Abstract: Many different methods have been devised to solve the nonlinear systems of equations that model water distribution networks. Probably the most popular is Todini and Pilati’s global gradient algorithm (GGA). Given the GGA’s ...
