Based on inverse hydraulic-thermodynamic transient analyses and on an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO), a leak detection and localization method is proposed for liquid pipelines. The finite volume method is employed to numerically model the…
A new model to detect leaks optimally in liquid pipelines is presented. The model uses the concept based on the Liapunov stability criteria to evolve a criterion for pipeline leak detection. A flow model was derived for a typical pipeline flow…
