Description
Summary:A method for a real-time now- and forecasting hydraulic and quality simulation model for combined sewer networks, based on an enhanced version of the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) simulator, with added support for storing the hot start file at any time during the simulation, the rotational speed control of the pumps, multiple dry weather flows with unique patterns, and improvements for quality simulations over control devices is presented. The methodology is applied in the combined sewer network of Helsinki, Finland. The model includes all pipes and dry weather flows, including the pollutants, catchment hydrology, infiltration, snowpacks, and other climate aspects.
