Topological Taxonomy of Water Distribution Networks [PDF]

Water, 2018
Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) can be regarded as complex networks and modeled as graphs. In this paper, Complex Network Theory is applied to characterize the behavior of WDNs from a topological point of view, reviewing some basic metrics, exploring their fundamental properties and the relationship between them. The crucial aim is to understand and

Occurrence of Transients in Water Distribution Networks

Procedia Engineering, 2015
AbstractThe common existence of pressure transients in operational water distribution systems (WDS) requires their characterisation and assessment of their impact. This paper performs such characterisation by evidencing the occurrence and the differences in pressure transient behaviour in complex WDS.
