Abstract: Necessary and sufficient conditions for solving flow-constrained networks are developed. These conditions are predicated on the interrelation between the decision variables specified and the network-flow hydraulics. They ...

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 ...

Abstract: An efficient system simulation methodology that solves the contaminant-transport problem in drinking-water-distribution systems is developed. The method can be effectively used for modeling the time-varying interaction of ...
