Abstract:
AbstractA three stage procedure for the analysis and least-cost design of looped water distribution networks is considered in this paper. The first stage detects spanning trees and identifies the true global optimum for the system. The second stage determines hydraulically feasible pipe flows for the network by the numerical solution of a set of non-linear simultaneous equations and shows that these solutions are contained within closed convex polygonal regions in the solution space bounded by singularities resulting from zero flows in individual pipes.

Abstract:
In tropical countries like India, irrigation is necessary to grow crops in the nonmonsoon period. The conventional methodology for conveying irrigation water from the source to the field is through open canals. However, considering huge losses due to evaporation and percolation, a modern system of irrigation like pipe irrigation network (PIN) is desired. Advancement in technology has led to the progress in the PIN as they are compatible with modern irrigation facilities such as sprinkler and drip irrigation systems. In the present study, the layout of the PIN is designed and optimized in two p

Abstract:
It has been indicated in the literature that looped water distribution systems designed with the linear programming (LP) optimisation technique are converted into tree-like structures resulting in the disappearance of the original geometry in the final design. Looped networks are provided for system reliability, thus such a design approach will defeat the basic purpose of looped systems provision. Such a limitation has hindered the application of LP for the design of looped water supply networks. A method for the design of a looped water distribution system has been developed such that the loo

Abstract:
Distribution networks are an essential part of all water supply systems. Distribution system costs within any water supply scheme may be equal to or greater than 60% of the entire cost of the project. The reliability of supply is much greater in the case of looped networks. The pipe networks have concentrated outflows or uniform outflow along the length of each pipe. In some pipes with variable discharge of a looped distribution network, water velocity could be reversed between its extremities. Thus, it is a water stall point denominated neutral point in which the discharge is null. In this pa

Abstract:
Water supply systems are mainly classified into branched and looped network systems. The main difference between these two systems is that, in a branched network system, the flow within each pipe is a known value, whereas in a looped network system, the flow in each pipe is considered an unknown value. Therefore, an analysis of a looped network system is a more complex task. This study aims to develop a technique for estimating the optimal pipe diameter for a looped agricultural irrigation water supply system using a harmony search algorithm, which is an optimization technique.

In mega cities such as Seoul in South Korea, it is very important to protect the cities from surface flooding even for a short time period due to the enormous economic damage. That is why stormwater pipe networks are commonly applied to mega cities with large impervious areas to drain runoff from the city. Therefore, the stormwater pipe networks in urban catchments should be carefully designed for quick and efficient runoff removal. In this study, the structures of different stormwater pipe networks were evaluated based on the relationship between peak rainfall and runoff in the urban catchmen

Abstract:
Abstract Water losses on the potable water distribution networks represent an important issue; on the one hand, water loss does not bring money and on the other hand, they modify water flow and pressure distribution on the entire system and this can lead to a cut-off of the water supply. A stringent monitoring of the water distribution network reduces considerably the water losses. The appearance of a leakage inside the distribution network is inevitable in time. But very important is its location and repair time – that are recommended to be as short as possible. The present paper analyses the

Abstract:
Hardy Cross originally proposed a method for analysis of flow in networks of conduits or conductors in 1936. His method was the first really useful engineering method in the field of pipe network calculation. Only electrical analogs of hydraulic networks were used before the Hardy Cross method. A problem with flow resistance versus electrical resistance makes these electrical analog methods obsolete. The method by Hardy Cross is taught extensively at faculties, and it remains an important tool for the analysis of looped pipe systems. Engineers today mostly use a modified Hardy Cross method tha

Although these networks are globally topologically different, they may show high similarity on the local scale of a borough or a neighbourhood, or vice versa.

Abstract:
A network is considered to be saturated when all operational constraints cannot be fulfilled. For a gas network, it can be observed when the operator cannot pipe the entire throughput or when it cannot deliver the flows at delivery points with high enough pressures. When a transportation or distribution network is overloaded, the common answer to improve flow and pressure conditions is to add new links or to increase the capacities of one or several existing links. On gas networks, this leads either to lay out new pipelines or to loop existing pipelines when we are close to the saturation. In
