Abstract: An experimental study has been undertaken using a naturally formed meandering channel to obtain unique tracer and hydrodynamic data. The velocity data presented are from laser Doppler anemometer measurements; tracer data ...

Abstract: Discoloration in water distribution systems has been studied in partnership with a number of U.K. water companies by measuring the turbidity response to changes in hydraulic conditions induced by systematic flushing. The ...

Abstract: Despite a significant ongoing investment in asset renewal and rehabilitation and high compliance rates for drinking water quality standards, water companies continue to receive customer contacts relating to water quality, ...

Abstract: Discoloration of potable water supplied to customer taps is one of the biggest causes of water quality related customer complaints. At present, understanding of the fundamental processes that cause discoloration is limited ...

Abstract: Previous work has sought to investigate flow resistance caused by vegetation in open channels. However, many existing flow resistance models are based on data from artificial plant mimics in laboratory channels and are ...

Abstract: Water lost through leakage from water distribution networks is often appreciable. As pressure increases on water resources, there is a growing emphasis for water service providers to minimize this loss. The objective of ...

Abstract: Reducing water loss through bursts is a major challenge throughout the developed and developing world. Currently burst lifetimes are often long because awareness and location of them is time- and labor-intensive. Advances ...

Abstract: Validation of a three-dimensional finite volume code solving the Navier–Stokes equations with the standard

Abstract: Water distribution networks are not inert transport systems. The high-quality water produced at water treatment works is subject to a variety of complex and interacting physical, chemical, and biological interactions within ...
