Abstract: This paper presents a new algorithm for the design of layout geometry of looped water distribution networks based on rectilinear grids. The algorithm is an evolution program based on genetic algorithms. It incorporates new ...

Abstract: This paper describes the proportional demand method and the target demand method, two techniques for adjusting estimated demands in hydraulic models of water distribution networks to produce solutions that are consistent ...

Abstract: A new algorithm for designing the layout of rectilinear branched distribution networks is presented in this paper. The algorithm uses a binary solution-coding scheme that is similar to the type commonly used in genetic ...
