Abstract: This note examines a globally smooth approximation for friction loss in pipelines suggested by Burgschweiger et al. The approximation contains five parameters, two of which are open to selection. A method is provided ...

Abstract: Permeable friction course (PFC) is a porous asphalt pavement placed on top of a regular impermeable roadway. Under small rainfall intensities, drainage is contained within the PFC layer; but under higher rainfall intensities, ...

Abstract: This paper summarizes an approach for the assessment and control of background leakage on water distribution networks. The methodology was developed for the battle of background leakage assessment for water networks (BBLAWN) ...

Abstract: An overlay of porous asphalt known as permeable friction course (PFC) is an innovative roadway material that improves both driving conditions in wet weather and water quality. Placed in a layer 25–50 mm thick on top of ...
