Fundamental concepts in WQ modeling
Just a heads-up—this section is still a work in progress! I’ll be revising and expanding it soon to make sure it’s as useful as possible. Curious about what’s already done or currently in the works? Check the changelog for updates.
To effectively model what happens to substances as they travel through your pipe network, you need a solid grasp of the core physical and chemical processes at play. This section lays that essential groundwork, explaining the fundamental principles that govern how constituents behave within a dynamic water distribution system.
We'll start with advection, which is simply the process by which substances are carried along by the bulk movement of water — if the water flows from point A to point B, anything dissolved or suspended in it generally goes along for the ride.
