Description:
A modeling package for studying the movement and fate of combined sewer overflow (CSO) sediment in receiving waters is described. The package contains a linear, implicit, finite-difference flow model and an explicit, finite-difference sediment transport model. The sediment model is coupled to the flow model by means of a file containing velocity, depth, and discharge at each model cross-section at each time step. The operation and utility of the model package were tested using data from a 20-km reach of the Scioto River below the Whittier Street outfall in Columbus, Ohio. A preliminary field investigation of the study reached in July 1980 collected sufficient data to partially calibrate the flow model.
