Abstract:
Results from previous solute tracer laboratory experiments across circular surcharged manhole structures by Guymer et al. have been used to optimise parameters within Hart's transient storage model (TSM). A surcharge threshold level for the model parameters is evident and this is explained in relation to jet theory. The ability to decompose the TSM is demonstrated with reference to frequency of exchange with the storage zone allowing the proportions of solute entering these regions to be inferred, together with an indication of storage volume retention times.
