This slide presentation outlines trends in
hydraulic modeling,
explains trend impacts, and
presents case studies that
show the value of model
calibration. The first trend presented is Using Output from Models
For Other Tasks,
examples include:
optimizing pipe sizes for
design studies;
deciding where to locate
on-line monitors; and,
modeling water quality. The second trend is Today's Models are Bigger and the reasons include: greater computer
resources;
no need to
skeletonize;
capable software;
geographic information systems (GIS) and customer information systems (CIS) data; and,
IDSE requirements. Reasons for calibration of models include: to represent real world
conditions (model
duplicates supervisory control and data acquisition [SCADA]);
to establish confidence
in the model's predictions; and,
to make decisions
based on accurate
information. Calibration of models is outlined and several case studies are presented. Includes table, figures.
