Intermittent water supplies (IWS), in which water is provided through pipes for only limited
durations, serve at least 300 million people around the world. However, providing water …

Filling and emptying processes are common maneuvers while operating, controlling and
managing water pipeline systems. Currently, these operations are executed following …

Drinking water distribution systems throughout the world supply water intermittently, leaving
pipes without pressure between supply cycles. Understanding the multiple mechanisms that …

Mixed flows in storm water systems (SWSs) generate a set of complex phenomena that are
difficult to capture in modeling. Shock-fitting and shock-capturing techniques are the two …

Geysers are explosive eruptions of air-water mixture from manholes in drainage systems.
When the design capacity of storm water drainage systems is exceeded during heavy …

The emptying procedure is a common operation that engineers have to face in pipelines.
This generates subatmospheric pressure caused by the expansion of air pockets, which can …

Improved one-dimensional (1D) models—compared to previous work by the authors—are
proposed which are able to predict the velocity, length, and position of the liquid column in …

One of the main issues arising during the rapid filling of a pipeline is the pressure transient
which originates after the entrapped air has been expelled at the air release valve. Because …

Deep storm-water storage tunnels may undergo pressurization during intense rain events. In
the process, air pockets may become entrapped and pressurized, causing significant flow …

Geysers are explosive eruptions of air-water mixture from manholes in drainage systems.
When the design capacity of urban storm water drainage systems is exceeded during …
