Abstract
An explicit algorithm is developed for use in modelling water quality within distribution system storage tanks or reservoirs with the resulting model closely simulating the dynamics of mixing of dissolved substances. The model is predicated on material mass balance that accounts for transport, mixing, and kinetic reaction processes while inherently representing physically based phenomena such as short-circuiting and stagnation zones for all types of distribution storage facilities. The performance of the model is illustrated by application to actual tank data taken from a previous paper. The model-generated results show a good degree of correlation with the observed field measurements. The methodology should prove to be a valuable tool for managing water quality in water distribution systems.
