Here, recent developments in the key numerical approaches to water hammer modelling are
summarized and critiqued. This paper summarizes one-dimensional modelling using the …

In order to accurately simulate the whole urban flooding processes and assess the flood
risks to people and vehicles in floodwaters, a 2D-surface and a 1D-sewer integrated …

Water-hammer waves propagation is an important phenomenon arising in numerous
applications. It is also a long-standing topic in the fields of mechanics, mechanical …

Drainage networks play an essential role in mitigating urban flooding, which, nevertheless,
are prone to suffer sediment deposits. To date, however, the effects of sediments in drainage …

Flood risk assessment is generally studied using flood simulation models; however, flood
risk managers often simplify the computational process; this is called a “simplification …

Transitions between free-surface and pressurized flows (transient mixed flows) are common
and complex phenomena in urban drainage systems. Currently, the free-surface …

This paper investigates the source of the spurious numerical oscillations often observed in
simulations using the well-known Preissmann slot method and proposes a nonoscillatory …

A new formulation of the Preissmann Slot for modeling surcharged (pressurized) one-
dimensional (1D) pipe flow is presented. The Dynamic Preissmann Slot (DPS) is derived in …

Operators of water distribution systems (WDSs) need continuous and timely information on
pressures and flows to ensure smooth operation and respond quickly to unexpected events …

According to available climate change scenarios for Belgium, drier summers and wetter
winters are expected. In this study, we focus on two multi-purpose reservoirs located in the …
