Abstract – The transient wave-based reflection method which utilizes the first period of the transient wave to localize a leak has extensively been applied in urban water pipes. To critically analyze its effectiveness in conveyance pipes, the objective of this work is to determine at what range the method is capable of detecting and localizing leakage inthe target pipe. The 1-D waterhammerequations are used which are converted into total differential equations by the method of characteristics with the finite difference method, of which the Brunone’s unsteady friction is incorporated. The model is assumed to be a reservoirpipe-valve system, in which the side discharge valve located downstream is suddenly closed to generate the transient event. To execute this work, first of all the transient waves in both intact and leaking pipes are analyzed, and then validated practically with laboratory experiment, which yielded accurate results. Thereafter, the leak detection range is determined based on the critical signal-to-noiseratio, with the use of wavelet transform as a signal processing technique for deterministic feature extraction in a white Gaussian noise environment. Based on the results, it is shown that the leak detection range of the transient wave-based reflection method in conveyance pipes largely depends on the size of the leak, the standard deviation in the reflected signal, and the location of the leak from the measurement section.

Theavailablefreshwateronearthisabout0.5%,whichis generallyinadequateforhumanbeings’survivalifnotwell managed. Water plays a major role in every aspect of mankind, and its mismanagement poses a serious detriment to all living things. Pipelines are one of the major means of water transportation, typically, from the sourcetothepointofuse.However,pipelinesareproneto various anomalies such as, leakage, blockage, and corrosion. Most of the constructed pipelines are aging, beenlaidundertheseaandtallbuildings,orbeenexposed to adverse weather conditions (i.e. rainfall and sunshine). Conveyancepipes(transmissionmain)usedinthispaper, transportswaterfrombothshortandlongdistancestothe pointofusage.Theimportanceofconveyancepipelinesin
the hydro-environment cannot be underestimated. To effectively conserve water resources and its usage, it is imperativethatthesepipeanomaliesarewellattendedto, mitigated, or possibly, totally prevented from occurring. The focus of this paper is on the leak anomaly, which is a very common threat to pipelines in all sections of engineering field. Leakage causes both environmental degradation, health issues (water contaminants through leakages from biological, chemical, and physical means), and economic loss. There are so many leak detection techniques which have been in practice over the past decades.Tomentionafew;GroundPenetratingRadar [1], Acoustic Correlator [2], Tethered method [3], and Transient wave-based methods [4,5]. The transient wavebased methods have been extensively been researched and applied to urban water pipes in the past few years. They can further be grouped under two main categories; (i) full-waveform inversion (FWI) method, and (ii) local feature based method [6–8]. The full-wave method is grouped into either, (a) time domain method [7,9,10], or (b) frequency domain method [7,8,11–13]. The local feature-based utilizes partial leak-induced information, and it is divided into the following; (i) reflection-based method [7,14,15]; (ii) damping-based method [7,16–18]; and (iii) frequency response function (FRF) peak patternbased method [7,19,20]. This work focuses on the reflection-based method, which is also known as the transient wave-based reflection (TWR) method [21]. This method takes into consideration the partial reflection of thepressurewavethattakesplaceattheleak,whichthen makesitpossibleforthelocationanddischargebehaviour of the leak to be assessed [12]. The TWR utilizes the first periodofthetransientwavetodetectandlocalizetheleak along the pipeline. The main objective of this work is to determine at what range along the pipeline is the TWR capable of localizing a leak, particularly in long conveyance pipes. This work would be executed as follows; (i) to highlight the governing equations for the model; (ii) to numerically analyse the transient wave in leakage pipes; (iii) to validate the model with laboratory experiment; (iv) to determine the leak detection range based on the critical signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR), with the application of wavelet transform; (v) analyse and discuss theresults,and;(vi)drawsomevitalconclusionsfromthe work.

In other words, a reservoir-pipe-valve(RPV)systemisusedfortheanalysis inthiswork (seeFigure1).Thereservoirislocatedatthe upstream whiles the valve is situated downstream. As soon as the valve is suddenly closed, it generates a transient signal which propagates upstream. If there is a
leaksomewherealongthepipe,itwouldbeobservedthat the transient wave would exhibit a distinct singularity which wouldn’t be noticed in the case of no leak. This distinct singularity is related to the arrival of a leakreflectedwaveatthemeasurementstation[4].
Whenthereisnoleakinthepipe,theduration of the first peak is half reflection time [26,27]. However, if there is a leak, duration of is the time in which the pressure wave propagates from the valve to the leak andreturnstothevalve.Mathematically

Since its application, the wavelet transform has proven to be a robust tool for identification of local singularities in measured signals caused by reflected waves from pipe anomalies[6,28].

The leak location can be estimated by using Equation (25). It is obvious that there isheavydampingandadistinctsingularityinthedamaged pipe,indicatingthepresenceofaleak.

3.2 Experimental validation for leak detection
The experiment is conducted at the laboratory of the CollegeofWaterConservancy&HydropowerEngineering, Hohai University, China. The setup comprise of an upstream reservoir, and a downstream reservoir. A side discharge valve is fixed at the downstream section, of which a pressure transducer is installed near the upstreamofthevalveasthemeasuringdevice.Inaddition, adesktopcomputerwhichisconnectedwithalltheoutlets and the transducers. The parameters for the setup are; pipe diameter, D = 0.025 m; length of pipe, L = 241.52 m; wavespeed, = 1350 m/s; initial pressure head, = 45 m;andinitialflowrate, =0.0125m3/h.
Afastclosureofthevalvegeneratedthetransienteventat time, 0.07 s. After the analysis, the estimated leak location is, 174 m. At the same time, the same experimental parameters are used for numerical simulation, and then compared with that of the experimental data. This is shown in Figure 3 The estimatednumericalleaklocationgives, 173.4m.

3.3 Leak detection range for TWR
Todeterminetheleakdetectionrange,acriticalsignal-to–noise-ratio (SNR) is to be established. This so called criticalSNRistheminimumvalueofSNRwhichwillallow for the localizationof a leak in the target pipe. Toachieve this, a numerical pressure signal with a step ( ) is generated and different tests are conducted, in which a white Gaussian noise of different SNR values are superimposedonthesamepressuresignal.
With an actual pressure variation (step), measured 4000 m from upstream reservoir on a pipe length of 20,000 m (2km), two test cases are carried out. The first test, 1A, withnosuperimposed whitenoiseonthesignal.Withthe use of the wavelet transform as a signal processing technique, the estimated variation location (step), after theanalysisis4000m,withno(zero)error.
For the second set of test, 2B, the same pressure signal is superimposed with white noise of different SNR values, SNR(-10,0,5,7,10,20)dB.Twenty(20)differenttestsare conducted for each SNR, where the averaged localization errorforeachspecificSNRisplotted.InFigure5,itcanbe observed that the averaged location error estimated increases as the SNR values becomes lower. In other words, the higher the SNR, the lower the error encountered. Whiles the averaged localization error incurred for SNR = 10 is 5 m, which is acceptable, that of SNR = 7 and 5 are 9.75 and 15 m respectively. It is found thattheerrormarginbeginstowidenbelowSNR=7,and increases further as the SNR value gets lower. The SNR valuefor7dB,thereforebecomesthecriticalSNRwhichis established to allow for leak localization in the target pipeline for this work. Its standard deviation ( ) can be determinedas (26)

For that matter, numerical simulations are conducted on a damaged long pipeline of different leak locations.

Figure 7: RelationshipbetweentheSNRandstandard deviation.
It is obvious to note in Figure 6 that, the amplitude of the leak wave decreases as the standard deviation increases withrespecttotheincrementofthedistance.Similarly,in Figure7,itcanbefoundthat,asthedistancefromtheleak and measurement section gets further, the standard deviation gains increasing power whiles the signal SNR getslower.

ItcanbededucedfromFigure8that,asthestrengthofthe leak reflected signal decreases, the noise power increases
whenthedistancebetweentheleakandthemeasurement sectionincreases.Itisthenfoundthatthelocalizationofa leak highly depends on the magnitude of the step (pressure variation) and the standard deviation of the signal.
The main objective of this work is to determine the leak detection range of the TWR method in conveyance pipes, which has been successfully carried out. Based on the results,thefollowingconclusionsaremade.
The characteristics of transient waves in pressurized water pipes of both intact and damaged leaking pipes were investigated. The TWR demonstrated effectively for leaklocalizationbothnumericallyandexperimentally.The results in Figure 2 and 3 clearly shows the TWR method canaccuratelylocalizeleakageinthetargetpipe
As it is observed in Figure 8 that, the estimated averaged localization error increases as the SNR values get lower, thiscouldbeasaresultoftheincreaseinthenoisepower over the signal when the SNR approaches lowest values. Thesignal-to-noise-ratiocaneitherbeofzero,positive,or negative value. However, when the SNR ratio is greater than zero, it indicates that the signal strength is higher than the noise level. On the other hand, when the SNR produces zero value, it indicates the signal has the same strength as that of the noise. Furthermore, when the SNR yields a negative value, then it indicates the signal power is weaker than the noise power. It is worth mentioning that, by increasing the signal strength and using higher SNR will significantly produce a satisfactory estimation of leaklocalizationinpresenceofwhiteGaussiannoise.
The wavelet transform with a mother wavelet of db1, is capable of extracting and identifying leak reflected wave eveninthenoisyenvironment.BelowthecriticalSNR,the localization error increases exponentially due to the increaseinthenoisepowerastheSNRfurtherapproaches negativevalues.
TheTWRmethodisthereforecapableoflocalizingleakage in conveyance pipes, nonetheless, its detection range is affected by the size of the leak, the standard deviation in thereflectedsignal,andthelocationoftheleak.
It is important to state here that, the detection range was numerically determined with a single pipe in this paper, andfutureworkswouldinvolvevalidatingitwithcomplex experimental/real-lifelongconveyancepipesystems
