Abstract: A new decomposition concept of the network graph according to its connectivity properties is introduced in this paper that allows various applications in the field of systems analysis of water supply networks. In this case, ...

Abstract: Currently the modeling of check valves and flow control valves in water distribution systems is based on heuristics intermixed with solving the set of nonlinear equations governing flow in the network. At the beginning of ...

Abstract: In this paper a new method is proposed that solves for the steady state of pressure-dependent models (PDMs) with flow control valves. Rather than model flow devices individually, the method solves the more general problem ...

Abstract: A new content-based, box-constrained, active-set projected Newton method is presented that solves for the heads, the pipe flows, and the nodal outflows of a water distribution system in which nodal outflows are pressure ...

Abstract: This paper used the fusion of an active-set method (ASM) and an interior point method (IPM), with a Newton method, to solve for the steady-state flows, heads, and outflows of a pressure-dependent water distribution system. ...

Abstract: Accurate modeling of water distribution systems is fundamental for planning and operating decisions in any water network. One important component that directly affects model accuracy is knowledge of nodal demands. Conventional ...

Abstract: Hydraulic models have been widely used for design, analysis, and operation of water distribution systems. As with all hydraulic models, water demands are one of the main parameters that cause the most uncertainty to the ...
