Abstract: The application of inverse transient analysis (ITA) to estimate the location and magnitude of lost lining and internal corrosion of metal pipelines is demonstrated for a field pipeline. The method uses a transient model ...

Abstract: Droughts are an inevitable consequence of meteorological variability, and the design of water resource infrastructure and management strategies to mitigate their effects requires assessment of the risk. Crucial characteristics ...

Abstract: The simulation of hydraulic transients within fluid line networks is important for many applications (for example, water hammer analysis within distribution networks). However, in many instances, modeling efforts are impeded ...

Abstract: Full-scale field acoustic Doppler velocimeter measurements of the radial, axial, and tangential flow components were undertaken in a large-diameter turbulent swirling jet generated by a raft-mounted axial flow-mixing ...

Abstract: Hydraulic transient field tests have been conducted in a water distribution network. Existing transient models are applied to model the measured responses, but poor matches are obtained apart from the estimation of the ...

Abstract: Excessive hydraulic transients in a water distribution system (WDS) can instantaneously damage equipment and infrastructure, while long-term pressure oscillations can contribute to pipe structural deterioration and eventually ...
