A Review on Network Generator Algorithms for Water Supply Modelling and Application Studies
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2016
Abstract
Approaches in water distribution analyses are usually tested on one or a few benchmark systems (before they are applied to real systems). On the one hand, this makes findings comparable, but on the other hand, the results are usually very case-specific. Because of data availability and security reasons, models of water distribution systems are rarely published or available for research tasks. For that reason the idea of stochastically creating benchmark sets was established. Following that idea, automatic generators of numerous benchmark networks were developed and they increasingly find their way in the scientific community. Currently there are several software, algorithms, and generated virtual networks available. Each of them has its specific advantages and depending on the aim of a study serves the investigators purpose. This paper aims to summarize the research work on that topic from the past years to further establish the application of virtual networks and shows latest findings and the capability of recent approaches and their applications.
