Quo vadis sewer process modelling

摘要: Over the past decade, considerable investment has been made in acquiring knowledge about in-sewer processes, with objective of developing new analytical tools to predict performance these systems. A wide variety have emerged, from simple aggregated conceptual models entire systems, very detailed physically based relationships for particular processes such as suspended transport. The major investors this research determined produce commercial which will form part integrated system analysis suites software use formulation holistic and optimum managerial methods wastewater Unfortunately, sewer are extremely complex, limited investment, when compared proportionately that hydrological hydraulic over previous decades, produced apparently empirical/physically deterministic there a number important outstanding gaps underlying not generally acknowledged. This paper reviews current position regard process modelling, highlighting areas where is still deficient, opportunities limitations emerging.
