MODELING THE PROPAGATION OF WATERBORNE SUBSTANCES IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS.

Abstract

In the planning and control of water quality in distribution systems, it is useful to know the time history and eventual spatial distribution of waterborne substances in the network. The work described here addresses the hydraulic aspects of modeling the propagation and eventual distribution of waterborne substances in general distribution networks. An example demonstrates the usage of such a model. Computer graphics are employed to present the simulation results.
