Model-Free Matched Field Processing for Condition Assessment of Pressurized Pipes
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Many transient-based defect detection methods are based on matching the transient model to the measured data to localize the defects. Despite the high degree of success in laboratory systems, this approach has not been ... -
Extremely Sensitive Anomaly Detection in Pipe Networks Using a Higher-Order Paired-Impulse Response Function with a Correlator
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Detection of anomalies in pipe networks (leaks, blockages, and wall deterioration) is critical for targeted pipe section replacement and maintenance in water distribution systems. A hydraulic signal-processing approach, ... -
Enhanced Artificial Neural Networks for Salinity Estimation and Forecasting in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta of California
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Domain-specific architectures of artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been developed to estimate salinity levels for planning at key monitoring stations in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California. In this work, we ... -
Distributed Rainwater Harvesting: Novel Approach to Rainwater Harvesting Systems for Single-Family Households
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)Communal rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems allow a community to collect rainwater from multiple roofs, store and treat it in a central location, and then distribute it back to the community. This paper proposes a novel ... -
Short-Term Hydro Scheduling Considering Multiple Units Sharing a Common Tunnel and Crossing Vibration Zones Constraints
(ASCE, 10/1/2021)For low construction cost, the hydropower plant with multiple units sharing a common tunnel (HPMUST) has been widely used, which plays an essential role in the short-term scheduling of power systems worldwide. Thus, ... -
Simulation-Optimization of Reservoir Water Quality under Climate Change
