Condition monitoring for water and sewerage pipes is essential for the safety of the
environment, energy conservation and human health. This paper focuses on the application …

Since the 1990s, pressure waves propagating in pressurized pipes during a transient event
have been re-evaluated both in the laboratory and in real systems as a way to obtain …

The current paper aims at the assessment of the effectiveness of a popular transient-based
technique—inverse transient analysis (ITA)—for leak detection in water pipe systems using …

A transient-based leakage detection method using a matched-field processing (MFP)
scheme is formulated and applied. It is found to be efficient, robust, accurate, and provides a …

This paper applies the matched-field processing (MFP) method to leakage localization in a
viscoelastic pipe. The viscoelasticity of pipe wall is included in the governing equations of …

This paper considers the problem of identifying multiple leaks in a water-filled pipeline
based on inverse transient wave theory. The analytical solution to this problem involves …

To date, the use of matched-field processing (MFP) for leak detection in pipes has been
limited to cases where the mismatch between data and model is assumed to be random and …

The transient frequency response (TFR) method has been widely developed and applied in
the literature to identify and detect potential defects such as leakage and blockage in water …

This paper considers the problem of detecting multiple leaks in a water-filled pipe using
transient waves. A previous paper by the authors proposes a maximum likelihood (ML) …

In a leaky tree-structured pipe network, transient head and discharge at a measurement
location arise from a superposition of the waves along the set of pipes linking the …
