Water-network modelling for transient analysis, control and better engineering decisions.

I develop hydraulic models, research methods and web-based tools for water distribution systems, with a focus on transient behaviour, state-space modelling, model validation and practical simulation workflows.

Complex systems, practical decisions

Turning hydraulic behaviour into tools engineers can inspect, test and trust.

My work connects mathematical modelling, numerical simulation and clear web interfaces so transient behaviour in pipe networks can be explored with less friction and better evidence.

What I do

Focused modelling support for water-network problems

01

Transient analysis

Model pump trips, valve operations, boundary changes and pressure-wave behaviour using MOC and EWCM workflows.

02

Dynamic and state-space modelling

Develop interpretable dynamic representations for modal analysis, estimation, control and system-level investigation.

03

Simulation software

Build reproducible tools for preparing models, running studies, inspecting results and comparing modelling assumptions.

04

Engineering validation

Use benchmark cases, quiet-start checks, event tests and solver comparisons to understand model behaviour and limitations.

Selected capabilities

Hydraulic modelling

  • Transient modelling of pipe networks, pumps, valves, tanks and hydraulic boundary conditions.
  • State-space formulations for modal analysis, control and estimation.
  • Model verification using quiet-start tests, event tests and benchmark comparisons.

Digital engineering

  • Python and MATLAB simulation engines.
  • Browser-based interfaces for preparing models and reviewing simulation results.
  • Reproducible workflows for testing, documenting and comparing simulation cases.
