Derivation of near-optimal pump schedules for water distribution by simulated annealing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The scheduling of pumps for clean water distribution is a partially discrete non-linear problem with many variables. The scheduling method described in this paper typically produces costs within 1% of a linear program-based solution, and can incorporate ...

Unified Friction Formulation from Laminar to Fully Rough Turbulent Flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
This paper provides a new unified formula for Newtonian fluids valid for all pipe flow regimes from laminar to fully rough turbulent flow. This includes laminar flow; the unstable sharp jump from laminar to turbulent flow; and all types of turbulent ...

An Integrated Hydrological-Hydraulic Model for Simulating Surface Water Flows of a Shallow Lake Surrounded by Large Floodplains

open access: yesWater, 2018
An integrated hydrological-hydraulic model employing the 2-D local inertial equation as the core is established for effective numerical simulation of surface water flows in a great lake and its floodplain. The model is a cascade of validated hydrological

Energy-Efficient Management of Urban Water Distribution Networks Under Hydraulic Anomalies: A Review of Technologies and Challenges

open access: yesEnergies
Urban water distribution systems face growing challenges from energy inefficiencies caused by hydraulic anomalies, such as pipe aging, bursts, demand variability, and suboptimal pump and valve operations.

Influence of hydraulic resistance on flow features in an open channel confluence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A numerical model based on the 3D shallow water equations is set up for a 90° angle open channel confluence. The model is first calibrated and validated using experimental data by (Shumate, 1998).

A Combined Hydrological and Hydraulic Model for Flood Prediction in Vietnam Applied to the Huong River Basin as a Test Case Study

open access: yes, 2017
A combined hydrological and hydraulic model is presented for flood prediction in Vietnam. This model is applied to the Huong river basin as a test case study. Observed flood flows and water surface levels of the 2002–2005 flood seasons are used for model

Process description of SWQN : A simplified hydraulic model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
SWQN is a simplified hydraulic model for surface water systems which computes water levels and flows in a network of nodes labelled as ‘volumes’ and segments labelled as ‘connectors’.
