In the context of smart city development and rapid urbanization worldwide, urban water
supply system (UWSS) has been of vital importance to this process. This paper presents a …

Here, recent developments in the key numerical approaches to water hammer modelling are
summarized and critiqued. This paper summarizes one-dimensional modelling using the …

Increase of efficiency (η) and decrease of the required NPSH simultaneously are important
objectives in the design of centrifugal pumps. In the present study, multi-objective …

This paper investigates water hammer flows using two-and three-dimensional (2D and 3D)
numerical simulations. The unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) …

Water hammer as an important phenomenon in water distribution networks was studied
using experimental and numerical models in two different setups, with and without the surge …

A two-dimensional model of distributed vaporous cavitation is developed for transient flow in
a low-density polyethylene pipeline. In this model, the governing equations of transient flow …

Energy dissipation and turbulent kinetic energy production and its dissipation in unsteady
turbulent pipe flows due to water hammer phenomena are numerically studied. For this …

The pressure-time method is a discharge measurement technique commonly used to
estimate the flow rate in hydro-power plants to assess the turbine hydraulic efficiency. In this …

The flow rate is a challenging hydrodynamic parameter to measure in order to determine
turbine efficiency. The pressure-time method is a cost-effective alternative to estimate the …

This paper presents a multi-objective optimization of the impeller shape of an axial-flow
pump based on the Modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) algorithm. At first, an …
