Abstract: Existing entropy-based methodologies for deriving two-dimensional (2D) velocity distributions in open-channel flow are based on the extension of one-dimensional (1D) formulations. Such extensions contain too many parameters ...

Abstract: Although pressure regulation valves (PRVs) are commonly used for reducing leakage in water distribution networks (WDNs), in recent years, many studies have highlighted the opportunity of using pumps as turbines (PATs) so ...

Abstract: In recent years, the opportunity of coupling a pressure management strategy with power generation in water distribution networks (WDNs) has attracted increasing interest. Numerical simulations developed for a number of ...

Abstract: Pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) are often used in water distribution networks (WDNs) to regulate pressure for leakage reduction. Optimal management would require the pressure to be constant and as low as possible at the ...

Abstract: Using 92-year precipitation data from 400 rain gauge stations located in 48 states throughout the continental United States, the change in precipitation in space and time was investigated. The variability in precipitation ...

Abstract: In recent years, power generation has been coupled with pressure regulation to optimize management of water distribution networks, also showing attractive revenues and short payback periods. A recent study proposed a ...

Abstract: Urban runoff discharges in receiving water are a significant source of pollution. Storm-water tanks are one of the most effective facilities used for reducing the impact of first-flush pollution. Nevertheless, because the ...
