Network Linear Programming Codes for Water‐Supply Headworks Modeling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is a class of water‐supply headworks models that uses network linear programming to assign water within the network. The choice of algorithm and computer code to solve the network linear programs formulated by such ...
General Water Supply System Simulation Model: WASP
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: WASP is a mass‐balance quasi‐simulation computer package developed to facilitate analysis of the performance of the head works and transfer components of a water supply system under different operating policies and changes ...
Assessment of the Replicate Compression Heuristic to Improve Efficiency of Urban Water Supply Headworks Optimization
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban water supply headworks systems are usually designed to provide high security against drought. The best way to evaluate this security is to use Monte Carlo simulation which is computationally expensive. The advent of ...
Network Linear Programming as Pipe Network Hydraulic Analysis Tool
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An accurate network linear programming (NLP) algorithm for the hydraulic analysis of water pipe networks is developed and compared with direct equation solving techniques. Accuracy is achieved by the use of a novel iterative ...
Framework for Forensic Investigation of Associations between Operational States and Pipe Failures in Water Distribution Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Water distribution systems throughout the world are deteriorating in part due to corrosion of cast iron pipes. Developing a deeper understanding of the operational association with failure may lead to operational improvements ...
Optimizing Urban Water Supply Headworks Using Probabilistic Search Methods
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Simulation models in conjunction with synthetic multiple hydro-climate replicates provide the most realistic assessment of the performance of urban water supply headworks systems. However, optimization using such models ...
Markov Model for Storm Water Pipe Deterioration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Effective management of storm water pipe networks requires an accurate assessment of the structural condition of the pipes. Indeed, the recent introduction of Australian accounting standard
