Abstract: AbstractThe elastic water column model (EWCM) has been enhanced through the integration of dynamic electromechanical elements, such as pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) and pumps, facilitating advanced transient analysis of ...

Abstract: AbstractAnomaly detection in pipe networks is critical for targeted maintenance within water distribution systems. A paired impulse response function (termed paired-IRF) technique to detect anomalies in pipe networks has ...

Abstract: Plastic pipes [e.g., polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or high density polyethylene (HDPE)] are commonly used to replace aging metallic pipe sections (e.g., cast iron) in water-distribution networks. However, our understanding ...

Abstract: A harvested stormwater and managed aquifer recharge system has been analyzed through both simulation sensitivity analysis and optimization to reduce operational pumping costs and increase the volume of water harvested. The ...

Abstract: Pipe wall condition assessment is critical for targeted maintenance and failure prevention in water distribution systems. This paper proposes a novel approach for condition assessment of water pipelines by adapting the ...

Abstract: AbstractThe aim of this paper is to develop a comprehensive three-dimensional virtual experiment platform for transient pipe flow simulation considering fluid–structure interaction (FSI). Within the platform, computational ...
