Hydraulic and Water Quality Reliability of Water Distribution System under Uncertain Conditions
(ASCE, 2022/07/13)Reliability assessment plays a significant role in the planning, design, and operation of water distribution systems (WDS). Herein, pressure, flow, chlorine concentration, and water age are simulated by continuity, energy, ... -
Application of Neural Network–Based Modeling for Leak Localization in Water Mains
(ASCE, 2022/06/29)Water distribution network (WDN) leakage is estimated to account for more than 20% of potable water in the United States. Because existing leakage detection practices are mainly laborious or require excessive budget ... -
Conductive and Convective Heat Transfer in Inductive Heating of Subsea Buried Pipelines
(ASCE, 2022/06/28)Inductive heating with high-voltage cables reduces the risk of hydrate formation by raising the temperature of the production fluid in pipelines. Heating the pipeline results in losing a certain fraction of the heat to the ... -
Experimental Study of Pressure and Soil Effects on Fluidization and Mobile Bed Zones around Buried Leaking Pipes
(ASCE, 2022/07/12)Leakage in underground water pipes has become critical because of increasing water demand. Many studies have been conducted based on the knowledge of soil–water interaction, but few of them have investigated the internal ... -
Numerical Simulation for the Estimation of the Critical Length of Steel Pipe Jacking in Alluvial Ground
(ASCE, 2022/07/08)In pipe jacking projects, there are several factors that could influence construction efficiency. Pipe dimensions are one of the main ones that affect the cost and safety of pipe jacking operations. However, the main factors ... -
Analysis of the Roughness Coefficient of Overflow in a Drainage Pipeline with Sedimentation
