Predicting Contamination Spreading in Water Distribution Networks
High-quality drinking water is an essential need of every modern settlement. Typical analysis applies the EPANET to calculate the water age and the chlorine distribution. However, it cannot cope with diffusion or three-dimensional effects. This study aims to find the potential cases where the traditional modelling needs adjustment or improvements. This study uses computational fluid dynamics to analyse how non-reacting contaminants (e.g., fluoride, chloride, metal oxides, and micropollutants) spread in water distribution networks.
