Modelling of flushing waves for optimising cleaning operations.
In the framework of a German field and numerical study the possibilities of an optimal cleaning by flushing of a combined sewer with storage capacity and bottom-end overflow were investigated. The objective of this combined investigation was to find out the boundaries for the flushing operation to prevent wave reflections and impoundages at the throttle by guaranteeing the necessary shear stress for remobilization.
