Abstract: An accurate hydraulic model of a water distribution network (WDN) is a critical prerequisite for a multitude of operational, optimization, and planning tasks. The accuracy of a hydraulic model can only be maintained through ...

Abstract: Unreported partially/fully closed valves or other types of pipe blockages in water distribution networks result in unexpected energy losses within the systems, which we also refer to as faults. We investigate the problem ...

Abstract: The localization of sources of pressure transients is essential for proactively managing and reducing the adverse effects of these transients in water supply networks (WSNs). This paper addresses the issue of localizing ...

Abstract: The ill-posed inverse problem for detecting and localizing leakage hotspots is solved using a novel optimization-based method that aims to minimize the difference between hydraulic measurement data and simulated steady ...

Abstract: The optimal placement and operation of pressure control valves in water distribution networks is a challenging engineering problem. When formulated in a mathematical optimization framework, this problem results in a nonconvex ...
