Abstract: Plastic pipes are widely used in pressurized water systems. Their viscoelastic behavior has to be taken into account in the design phase as well as in the interpretation of water-hammer signals for diagnostic purposes. The ...

Abstract: Side weirs are hydraulic structures widely used in practice and extensively studied in the technical literature. The flow along a side weir is a classic example of spatially varied flow, the study of which is generally ...

Abstract: A novel application of spline curves was developed for tracing average daily trends of water demand. These trends were used as input of a stochastic model to generate synthetic time series considering the number of water ...

Abstract: A two-phase air-water shear flow generated by a submerged jet and characterized by a relevant void fraction and laden with fluorescent particles has been investigated experimentally by means of particle image velocimetry ...

Abstract: The Battle of the Water Networks II (BWN-II) is the latest of a series of competitions related to the design and operation of water distribution systems (WDSs) undertaken within the Water Distribution Systems Analysis ...
