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 …

Leakage from a pipe network possibly poses significant environmental destruction and
economic losses due to the release of potential energy. While the pipe network may be …

The mechanical behaviour of the pipe material determines the pressure response of a fluid
system during the occurrence of transient events. in viscoelastic pipes, typically made of …

The current waterhammer models coupled with friction models cannot adequately represent
the pressure wave attenuation observed in real-world pipe systems, because the pressure …

The present work extends a recently developed quasi-2D flow model for fluid transients in
elastic pipes to accommodate fluid–structure interaction mechanisms. In this context, the …

This research work focuses on the analysis of hydraulic transients in polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) pipes, which are characterized by a viscoelastic rheological behavior. Transient …

In recent decades transient test-based techniques (TTBTs) have been used for fault
detection in transmission mains. Within TTBTs, the direct transient analysis (DTA) allows the …

This work presents a fluid transient model capable of handling the viscoelastic behavior of
the pipe. A previously developed quasi-2D flow model is employed as a base, and the …

Water-hammer control strategies constitute an essential and critical task for both hydraulic
designers and manufacturers to ensure the global economic efficiency and safety operations …

In this work, several important issues and solutions are considered in order to develop a
method for multiple leak detection in pipe network systems. To relax the model complexity …
