Open channel models that consider the exchange of energy with the environment and the transport of pollutants

Abstract

The implementation of a simplified surface water stream model, whether natural or artificial, on which the discharge of a conservative characteristics substance (contaminant) is simulated is carried out. The results of different case-scenario (channel width, roughness, initial concentration, bed slope) are compared with those obtained with free software (HEC RAS). On the other hand, the influence of ambient temperature on the course temperature is modelled, as well as the stochastic variables with higher influence on the results by means of distribution functions
