Abstract: The pressure sensors have been widely used to capture the steady-state pressure data for the management of water distribution systems (WDSs). The background noise pollution in WDSs can lead to signal degradation, reducing ...

Abstract: In recent years, pressure management based on district metering areas (DMAs) has played an irreplaceable role in background leakage reduction in water distribution networks (WDNs). To further improve DMA management, this ...

Abstract: Erosion of a saturated sand bed by a vertically upward water jet was studied experimentally. Direct observations on the behavior of sand-bed erosion were obtained by increasing the flow rate at a small increment until ...

Abstract: This paper studies soil-erosion problem around cracked sewer pipes, which is usually associated with groundwater infiltration in sewer systems. Four factors (soil-particle size, defect size, water head, and soil height) ...

Abstract: Many skeletonization methods are available to simplify the configuration of urban water distribution systems (WDS) to enable hydraulic modeling and analysis. However, these approaches are generally based on steady-state ...

Abstract: Real-time modeling of water distribution systems (WDSs) has received much attention in WDS operation and management. As the model input, nodal water demand must be calibrated in a timely manner. However, for the large-scale ...
