    The paper describes two elements in the development of a computer model of gross solids transport in sewers. One element is a laboratory study of solid deposition. This confirmed the appropriateness of a modelling approach based on critical values of flow depth and mean velocity. In this approach, when the hydraulic model indicates that depth and velocity are above the critical value, it is assumed that solids are carried with the flow; if either depth or velocity is below the critical value, it is assumed that solids are deposited. The other element described in the paper is a field test of the full transport model using data gained from a study of artificial traceable solids in an actual length of sewer. This demonstrated that that the model, including representation of deposition, was working as intended in a realistic application.
