Abstract: AbstractIn this paper, the authors extend work on using the Nash equilibrium framework to analyze pressure-dependent models of water distribution systems with flow-control valves and pressure-control valves to the case ...

Abstract: The forest core partitioning algorithm (FCPA) and the fast graph matrix partitioning algorithm (GMPA) have been used to improve efficiency in the determination of the steady-state heads and flows of water distribution ...

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: The reliability of a water distribution system is highly dependent on the management of its pipeline network. A pipe or a portion of the network can be isolated for inspection, maintenance, and replacement by the installation ...

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: 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 ...
