Inverse Flow Analysis for Multiple Controls in Pipeline Systems
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Pressure and flow variations are key components for comprehending the flow regime in pipeline systems. Although many types of measurement device monitor flow status in pressurized pipeline systems, no comprehensive method ... -
Modeling of Generation Scheduling for Multiple Provincial Power Grids Using Peak-Shaving Indexes
(ASCE, 9/1/2021)Peak shaving is a common challenge facing most provincial power grids (PPGs) in China. This paper presents an optimization model for the generation scheduling of multiple PPGs using peak-shaving indexes. Loads and power ... -
Lagrangian Method to Model Advection-Dispersion-Reaction Transport in Drinking Water Pipe Networks
(ASCE, 9/1/2021)A Lagrangian method to simulate the advection, dispersion, and reaction of a single chemical, biological, or physical constituent within drinking water pipe networks is presented. This Lagrangian approach removes the need ... -
Evolution of Water Governance in China
(ASCE, 8/1/2021)Water governance has been handled as a critical national issue in China since ancient times. Over thousands of years, water governance in China has evolved from flood control, irrigation, and navigation to modern large-scale ... -
Approaches to Planning Water Resources
(ASCE, 9/1/2021)Water resource problems and management are complex, confusing, and controversial for participants in technical, policy, and public water deliberations. A thoughtful planning approach can reduce confusion and structure ... -
