Assessment of the Ability of a Volume of Fluid Model to Reproduce the Efficiency of a Continuous Transverse Gully with Grate

This paper deals with the numerical investigation of the drainage efficiency of a continuous transverse gully with the grate’s slots aligned in the flow direction and compared with experimental data sets. The gully efficiency attained with a three-dimensional (3D) numerical model is compared and validated against experimental data. The numerical simulations are performed using a computational fluid dynamics volume of fluid solver. Different slopes, from 0 to 10%, and a wide range of drainage flows, from 6.67 to 66.67??L/s/m66.67??L/s/m, are simulated. The linear relation between Froude number and efficiency of the gully is in agreement to the one experimentally obtained.

Prediction of organic combined sewer sediment release and transport

AbstractAccurate predictions of sediment loads released by sewer overflow discharges are important for being able to provide protection to vulnerable receiving waters. These predictions are sensiti...
