Makris, K. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has become one of the dominant construction materials for sewer systems over the past decades, as a result of its reputed merits. However, since PVC sewer pipes have operated for decades in a hostile environment, concern over their longevity has been lately raised by sewer managers in the Netherlands. Towards that...journal article 2019

Schang, Christelle (author), Crosbie, Nicolas D. (author), Nolan, Monica (author), Poon, Rachael (author), WANG, M. (author), Jex, Aaron (author), John, Nijoy (author), Baker, Louise (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)The shedding of pathogens by infected humans enables the use of sewage monitoring to conduct wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE). Although most WBE studies use data from large sewage treatment plants, timely data from smaller catchments are needed for targeted public health action. Traditional sampling methods, like autosamplers or grab...journal article 2021

Cecinati, Francesca (author), Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Rico-Ramirez, Miguel A. (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)In urban hydrological models, rainfall is the main input and one of the main sources of uncertainty. To reach sufficient spatial coverage and resolution, the integration of several rainfall data sources, including rain gauges and weather radars, is often necessary. The uncertainty associated with rain gauge measurements is dependent on...journal article 2018

Kraaikamp, C. (author), Langeveld, Niels (author)In this paper we consider continued fraction (CF) expansions on intervals different from [0,1]. For every x in such interval we find a CF expansion with a finite number of possible digits. Using the natural extension, the density of the invariant measure is obtained in a number of examples. In case this method does not work, a Gauss–Kuzmin...journal article 2017

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Cecinati, Francesca (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Integrated Catchment Modelling aims to simulate jointly urban drainage systems, wastewater treatment plant and rivers. The effect of rainfall input uncertainties in the modelling of individual urban drainage systems has been discussed in several studies already. However, this influence changes when simultaneously simulating several urban...journal article 2017

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Bellos, V. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)This work presents a method to emulate the flow dynamics of physically based hydrodynamic simulators under variations of time-dependent rainfall and parametric scenarios. Although surrogate modelling is often employed to deal with the computational burden of this type of simulators, common techniques used for model emulation as polynomial...journal article 2018

Nieuwenhuis, E.M. (author), Cuppen, Eefje (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), de Bruijn, J.A. (author)Climate change and urbanization, as well as growing environmental and economic concerns, highlight the limitations of traditional wastewater practices and thereby challenge the management of urban water systems. Both in theory and in practice, it has been widely acknowledged that the challenges of the twenty-first century require solutions...journal article 2021

Langeveld, Simone A.G. (author), Beekers, Inés (author), Collado Lara, G. (author), van der Steen, A.F.W. (author), de Jong, N. (author), Kooiman, Klazina (author)Phospholipid-coated microbubbles are ultrasound contrast agents that can be employed for ultrasound molecular imaging and drug delivery. For safe and effective implementation, microbubbles must respond uniformly and predictably to ultrasound. Therefore, we investigated how lipid handling and phase distribution affected the variability in the...journal article 2021

Makris, K. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sewer pipes have operated for decades in a hostile environment, raising concern among sewer managers over the longevity of their drainage systems. Inspection data (CCTV and Panoramo®) reveals that severe defects have already surfaced, yet it is unknown if the material properties of PVC sewers have been affected. In...journal article 2021

Rietveld, M.W.J. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)Runoff (re)mobilises solids and their associated pollutants from streets and transports them via gully pots to the drainage system. As the solids negatively impact the performance of the drainage systems, knowledge on the solids loading in terms of mass and composition is essential. However, monitoring data on the solids loading, in...journal article 2021

van der Werf, J.A. (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)To evaluate the performance of Real Time Control (RTC) of urban drainage systems (UDS) a comparison is made with the pre-RTC situation, making the RTC performance dependent on the functioning of the UDS prior to implementation. To standardise things, a generalised baseline is formulated here as the operation with optimal static settings of the...journal article 2021

Nieuwenhuis, E.M. (author), Cuppen, Eefje (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)Urban water systems are under increased pressure from ongoing developments like climate change, population growth and urbanization. While it is clear that current urban water challenges need a more integrated approach, practitioners disagree on what such an integrated approach means exactly. Integration could therefore be described as a...journal article 2022

(author)Drinking water distribution networks (WDNs) are a crucial infrastructure for life in cities. Deterioration of this ageing, and partly hidden from view, infrastructure can result in losses due to leakage and an increased contamination risk. To counteract this, maintenance strategies are required to maintain the service level. Information on...journal article 2021

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Tscheikner-Gratl, F. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Receiving water quality simulation in highly urbanised areas requires the integration of several processes occurring at different space-time scales. These integrated catchment models deliver results with a significant uncertainty level associated. Still, uncertainty analysis is seldom applied in practice and the relative contribution of the...journal article 2019

Rietveld, M.W.J. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)Runoff entering urban drainage systems contains suspended solids, which carry pollutants and may cause blockages in downstream parts of the system (for example infiltration facilities). Suspended solids inflow should, therefore, preferably be controlled by solids removal at gully pots. This paper presents the results of lab experiments on the...journal article 2020

Rietveld, M.W.J. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author)Gully pots are utilized for conveying runoff to drainage systems, as well as for reducing the system’s solids loading by retaining suspended solids. However, the accumulation of solids in gully pots reduces their removal efficiency, leading to an increase in solids transport towards the drainage system. This article aims to identify the main...journal article 2020

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R.

The complexity of these integrated catchment models grows fast, leading to potentially over-parameterised and computationally expensive models. The receiving water body...journal article 2019
