Optimal design of water distribution systems based on entropy and topology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A new multi-objective evolutionary optimization approach for joint topology and pipe size design of water distribution systems is presented. The algorithm proposed considers simultaneously the adequacy of flow and pressure at the demand nodes; the ...

Hydraulic modelling of intermittent water supply using the DMA concept for equitable water distribution

open access: yes, 2020
Water scarcity is increasingly becoming a great concern in both developed and developing countries. Fuelled by the increasing effects of climate change, rapid population growth, rapid urban development and urban migration, demand for potable water is ...

Assessment of the fractal dimension as a design and operation criterion of water distribution systems

open access: yes, 2023
This is the extended version of a research article developed to understand assertive applications of fractal analysis in hydraulic design and operation. By understanding the fractal behavior of feasible design outcomes obtained through mono-objective and

Water Distribution Networks Optimization Using Disjunctive Generalized Programming

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2019
Water Distribution Networks (WDN) are systems of water distribution used in industrial processes and urban centers. The optimal WDN design can be very effective in saving energy, specifically in pumping service, to carry water to nodes of demand, at ...

Advances in Water Distribution Networks [PDF]

open access: yesWater, 2018
This Editorial presents a representative collection of 10 papers, presented in the Special Issue on Advances in Water Distribution Networks (WDNs), and frames them in the current research trends. Four topics are mainly explored: simulation and optimization modelling, topology and partitioning, water quality, and service effectiveness.

Backup Design Optimization for Water Distribution Networks

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings
Rapidly growing cities need significant extensions to their water distribution networks to fulfil the water demands of the population. The design of such systems is still challenging to optimise between the robustness/reliability/vulnerability and the ...

Measures of water quality reliability and their relation to hydraulic performance of water distribution networks

open access: yes, 2013
Supplying adequate amount of water with the required pressure which is also reasonably free from disease causing organisms and harmful compounds are the objectives of water distribution system.

Modeling and optimization of pressure and water age for evaluation of urban water distribution systems performance

open access: yesHeliyon, 2022
Water loss has become increasingly critical as the severity of the water shortage situation has grown in recent decades. One of the options for reducing water loss in urban water distribution networks is pressure management.
