Illegal connection detection in a viscoelastic pipeline using inverse transient analysis in the time domain
2022
Overview
Illegal connection (IC) in water supply systems and water network wastes water as well as energy and reduces water quality, which has negative technical and economic effects on water management. Transient-based defect detection is a powerful method applied in water pipelines. This paper investigates the efficiency of the transient-based inverse transient analysis (ITA) method in estimating the characteristics of ICs in the viscoelastic water supply system in the time domain. To better evaluate this method, an experimental transient model was developed using polyethylene pipelines (with a length of 158 meters and a nominal diameter of 2 inches). In the first step, the hydraulic transient solver was calibrated in the calibration approach of dynamic parameters of pressure wave speed and pipe wall viscoelasticity. Then, the sensitivity of the ITA method to the spatial step of the method of characteristics and signal sample size was assessed. Finally, the efficiency of the ITA method was evaluated for several experiments with different transient intensities and a noisy signal. The results indicated that the accuracy for locating the IC was higher than the accuracy for the IC's length.
