Overview To effectively use water distribution models, the engineer must be able to link knowledge of basic hydraulic theory and the mechanics of the program with that of the operation of real-world systems. Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management does just that! Written by industry experts, it provides practical resources for engineers and modelers that go well beyond being a how-to guide for typing data into a computer program. The book contains straightforward answers to common questions related both to modeling and to distribution systems in general. Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management walks the practicing engineer or student through the modeling process from start to finish - from data collection and field-testing to using a model for system design and complex operational tasks. Advanced Water Distribution Modeling and Management also explores transient analysis, GIS technology applications, and water system vulnerability and security. The 800-page book includes extensive material from an international team of experts from both academia and consulting firms. Topics include: A thorough review of water distribution theory Primary sources of data for building water distribution models Demand allocation and projection Energy efficiency evaluation, flushing simulation, and solving operational problems, such as inadequate fire protection Field testing techniques and model calibration approaches Identifying and resolving potentially expensive problems, such as undersized piping, inadequate pumping, and poor water quality Preparing systems for special events, such as power outages, taking tanks offline, and system contamination Advanced Topics Featured In-depth coverage of optimization techniques for model calibration, system design, and pump operations. Advanced water quality modeling topics including tank mixing, water quality solution algorithms, sampling techniques, tracer studies, tank design, and maintenance of adequate disinfectant residuals. Integration of SCADA systems with water distribution modeling for estimating model demands, initial conditions, and control settings; forecasting system operations; calibrating extended-period simulation models; streamlining water quality analysis; and estimating water loss during a main break. The essentials of transient analysis including the causes and sources of transients, as well as the potential effects of transients on water distribution systems. Application of GIS technology for skeletonization, demand allocation, and pipe break analysis; discussion of the technological issues that arise when integrating GIS and water distribution modeling; and the current state of the technology. Use of models to assess water system vulnerability and security, respond to emergencies in real-time, simulate contamination events, prioritize physical security improvements, and unravel past contamination events.

Overview If your work or academic studies involve floodplain management, then a copy of Floodplain Modeling Using HEC-RAS needs to be on your desk. This comprehensive textbook offers expert instruction and practical advice for floodplain modelers and managers. It then goes a step further by reinforcing the concepts presented using the worldwide standard simulation tool HEC-RAS, developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center. In Floodplain Modeling Using HEC-RAS, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers veteran Gary Dyhouse walks you through a complete floodplain study, from the planning stage to determining the floodway. No more wondering which of the vast number of variables to adjust in your model. Get the inside guidance you need to successfully apply HEC-RAS to your projects. Topics covered in this text include: An easy-to-understand introduction to open channel hydraulics Planning floodplain modeling studies with defensible time and cost estimates Modeling bridges, culverts, and other special features Calibrating and operating models for peak performance Modeling floodways, including coverage of FEMA flood insurance guidelines Developing routing information for use in hydrology programs Designing and evaluating channel modifications Analyzing bridge scour About the software included Each book within the Water Modeling Collection from the Bentley Institute Press includes academic-licensed versions of the professional software covered. HEC-Pack for floodplain management includes four industry-standard products developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydrologic Engineering Center. Graphical HEC-1 and HEC-HMS are for hydrograph analysis, HEC-RAS is for water surface profile analysis, and HEC-GIS is for integrating floodplain modeling with GIS.

Overview Hydraulic models are an essential tool in understanding wastewater collection system behavior for system design, operations, assessment of performance, development of rehabilitation programs, support of permit applications, and demonstration of regulatory compliance. Wastewater Collection System Modeling and Design will guide you through the model-building process and the practical application of models to address real-world challenges. Each topic presented is reinforced by examples that clearly demonstrate how models are used in applications such as designing new systems, detecting and correcting inefficiencies in existing systems, and minimizing the costs of pumping. The book was developed for use by designers, managers, regulators, and students and focuses on linking engineering theory to practical modeling applications. Each chapter concludes with exercises that can be completed by professionals for continuing education credits and by students to reinforce the material. The book brings together the experiences of an international team of experts from both academia and consulting and includes topics such as: Fundamentals of gravity and pressure flow and pumping Consideration of solid transport and tractive forces Planning and constructing system models Determining sanitary loads using unit factors, load patterns, and peaking factors Modeling wet weather flows in sanitary and combined sewers Flow measurement in existing systems Model calibration Combined and sanitary sewer overflows Using models in the design of new sewers and the rehabilitation of existing systems Design and operation of force mains and pump stations Design of low pressure sewer systems Using GIS in sewer models The use of models to address regulatory issues in the United States, Canada, and the European Union About the software included Each book within the Water Modeling Collection from the Bentley Institute Press includes academic-licensed versions of the professional software covered.
