Abstract
A method for locating an anomaly in a fluid transmission pipeline system is provided. The method may include receiving data for one or more physical conditions measured at an input and output of a pipeline portion, performing multiple simulations on a model of the pipeline portion to determine sets of simulated conditions that respectively correspond to simulated leak locations, determining a probability for a leak at one or more of the simulated leak locations by comparing one or more sets of simulated conditions to the received output data, and determining a highest probability location for the leak based on the probability for the leak at the one or more of the simulated leak locations. At least one simulation of the multiple simulations may be performed as a stochastic process and may be based on the received input data.
