Abstract: Design stream flows are frequently used in water pollution control programs to provide adequate protection against pollutant exposure periods of a given duration. An analysis of the effect that simple stream flow dilution ...

Abstract: The known formulations for steady-state hydraulics within looped water distribution networks are rederived in terms of linear and nonlinear transformations of the original set of partly linear and partly nonlinear equations ...

Abstract: Storage tanks and reservoirs are commonly used in drinking water distribution systems to equalize pumping requirements and operating pressures, and to provide emergency water for fire-fighting and pumping outages. Poor ...

Abstract: A comparison is made between the formulation and computational performance of four numerical methods for modeling the transient behavior of water quality in drinking-water-distribution systems. Two are Eulerian-based (the ...

Abstract: A mass‐transfer‐based model is developed for predicting chlorine decay in drinking‐water distribution networks. The model considers first‐order reactions of chlorine to occur both in the bulk flow and at the pipe wall. The ...

Abstract: The factors leading to the loss of disinfectant residual in well-mixed drinking-water storage tanks are studied. Equations relating disinfectant residual to the disinfectant's reaction rate, the tank volume, and the fill ...

Abstract: An explicit dynamic water‐quality modeling algorithm is developed for tracking dissolved substances in water‐distribution networks. The algorithm is based on a mass‐balance relation within pipes that considers both advective ...
