  • Numerical experimentations for a new set of local indices of a water network
    Publication . Bonora, Marco; Caldarola, Fabio; Maiolo, Mario; Muranho, João; Sousa, J.
    Very recently in CaMa, a new set of local indices has been proposed for an urban water distribution network together with a useful mathematical framework that organizes and provides the tools to treat the complex of these local parameters varying from node to node. In this talk, the applicability of such indices to various models of both abstract and real hydraulic networks will be explored through direct numerical computations and hydraulic simulations. Furthermore, starting from explicit data sets for these local parameters and using the tools offered by the mentioned mathematical setting, some well known and very frequently used global energetic indicators will be calculated in a new way and through new formulas (for example, measures of resilience, pressure, deficiency, etc.). Finally, since the tools and the framework proposed in CaMa have the important advantage of favoring in many cases a more in-depth structural analysis of global indices, new interpretations and new implications will be briefly discussed.
  • Numerical experimentations for a new set of local indices of a water network
    Publication . Bonora, Marco; Caldarola, Fabio; Maiolo, Mario; Muranho, João; Sousa, J.
    Very recently in [1], a new set of local indices has been proposed for an urban water distribution network together with a useful mathematical framework that organizes and provides the tools to treat the complex of these local parameters varying from node to node. In this paper, such indices are considered and examined in relation to hydraulic software using Demand Driven Analysis (DDA) or Pressure Driven Analysis (PDA). We investigate the needed hypotheses to obtain effective numerical simulations employing, in particular, EPANET or WaterNetGen, and the concrete applicability to a real water supply system known in literature as the KL network.
