Leakages in pipelines affect the reliability of fluid transport systems causing environmental
damages, economic losses, and pressure reduction at the delivery points. Therefore, this …

In the absence of a flowmeter or due to its inaccuracy, the flow rate at the discharge section
of the pipeline following the observed pump can be roughly estimated if the pressure can be …

This paper presents a new approach of the continuous‐discrete observer design for a class
of uncertain state‐affine non‐linear systems. A high‐gain observer redesign is developed …

This paper proposes a model predictive control strategy to optimize the management and
reduce water losses due to leaks in water distribution systems (WDS). First, the …

This work addresses the estimation of two interrelated parameters of the fluid flow in pipes.
First, a numerical and experimental evaluation of some proposed methods to compute the …
