Abstract: Partial blockages are commonly formed in water supply pipelines due to many factors, such as deposition, biofilm, and corrosion in the natural water supply process, as well as valve throttle in the artificial construction ...

Abstract: Pipe leakage and partial blockage are the two common types of pipe defects in water supply systems. In practical systems, these defects, which may cause great waste of water and energy resources and can induce potential ...

Abstract: Partial blockages are commonly formed in water supply pipelines due to many factors, such as deposition, biofilm, and corrosion in the natural water supply process, as well as valve throttle in the artificial construction ...

Abstract: Unexpected, unknown or unused side pipe branches, termed dead-end side branches in this study, commonly exist in water pipe systems because of incorrect device installations or illegal connections. These connections are ...

Abstract: Plastic/viscoelastic pipes such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes have been increasingly applied in fluid piping systems. The understanding of the hydrodynamic ...

Abstract: Partial blockages commonly exist in water pipelines due to various physical, chemical, and biological processes, including sediment, corrosion, and biofilm. The formed blockages can result in low flowing capacity, additional ...

Abstract: The transient flow phenomenon in a pipeline accounts for the flow variations with time and space. The transient energy analysis (TEA) overlooks the process as it sums the energy of the entire pipe domain and reports it at ...

Abstract: Unsteady friction and its modeling have been widely studied in transient pipe flows for its influences and modification effect on pressure waves. Such a feature is of great importance particularly in pipe systems where the ...

Abstract: Partial blockages commonly exist in pressurized pipeline systems, and the rapid remediation of such faults is required to reduce the wastage of energy as well as to maintain the serviceability of the pipe network. Numerous ...
