Hydrodynamic Models in Urban Drainage: Application and Calibration
In the Netherlands, hydrodynamic models in urban drainage are in practice seldom verified against field observations although large investments are based on the results of these methods. In the Dutch guidelines the urge for calibration against field data is highlighted, however no methods to this end are described. Furthermore, a correct description of the hydraulics is a prerequisite for ever being able to correctly model other processes taking place in drainage systems. The attention given in scientific literature to verification and calibration in urban drainage is limited and the results are rarely applied in day to day engineering practice. The subject of this research is therefore, to formulate methods to calibrate hydrodynamic models that could be used by practicing engineers enabling them to quantify the quality of the parameters gained from this calibration. Furthermore sources of errors are studied; this comprises modeling errors, data errors and measuring errors. In this manner the uncertainties in the model-results can be quantified enabling for a probabilistic design approach.
