RISFailure Impact Analysis of Isolation Valves in a Water Distribution Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Isolation valves are crucial components of water distribution systems for separating pipe segments from the network for repair or maintenance purpose. This paper looks at the impacts of isolation valve failure on three ...
Preconditioning Water Distribution Network Optimization with Head Loss–Based Design Method
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper develops a new domain knowledge–based initial design method for the optimization of water distribution network design. The new initial water distribution network design method, termed as head loss-based design ...
Identifying Flow Patterns in Water Pipelines Using Complex Network Theory
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Air pockets trapped in water pipelines are a common phenomenon and can lead to different air-water two-phase flow patterns: stratified, blowback, plug, and bubbly flows. The two former flows contain a large amount of air ...
Reliability Surrogate Measures for Water Distribution System Design: Comparative Analysis

Flash Flood Peak Estimation in Small Mountainous Catchments Based on Distributed Geomorphological Unit Hydrographs Using Fuzzy C-Means Clustering
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The peak flow of a flash flood is an important factor concerning flood risk management. Empirical approaches based on measured hydrological data at gauging sites can be applied to estimate flood peaks; however, they are ...
Battle of the Water Networks II
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
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 ...
