Abstract: In the present technical note, a simple methodology for identifying the source location of an accidental contamination in a water distribution network is formulated. Starting from measured solute concentration data and ...

Abstract: Unsteady shallow-layer flows may be described through full dynamic models or using simplified momentum equations, based on kinematic, diffusion, and quasi-steady approximations, which guarantee a reduction of the computational ...

Abstract: The paper investigates the influence of the resistance coefficient variability onto the spatial development of roll-waves. Two models, based on time-asymptotic solutions of the linearized St. Venant equations, subject to ...

Abstract: Fast geomorphic transients may involve complex scenarios of sediment transport, occurring near the bottom as bed load (i.e., saltating, sliding, and rolling) or as suspended load in the upper portion of the flow. The two ...

Abstract: Efficient management of a sewer system includes the control of the conveyed wastewater quality to adequately operate treatment plants and protect the receiving water bodies. Moreover, these systems are vulnerable to either ...

Abstract: Identification and control of the pollutant load in sewer networks (SNs) are among the priorities for utilities to reduce the impact on water bodies and to individuate the presence of pathogens to prevent their further ...
