EPANET-BAM 1.0 is an augmented version of EPANET
2.00.10, open-source
software distributed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that
models flow and contaminant transport through water distribution pipe
networks.
EPANET-BAM uses a new Bulk Advective Mixing (BAM) model to predict concentrations of an aqueous solute at the outlets of cross junctions in a water quality simulation. EPANET-BAM allows incomplete solute mixing in cross junctions, whereas the original EPANET assumes complete and instantaneous mixing in cross junctions. Recent experimental and computational studies have shown that solute mixing in pipe junctions is incomplete and primarily governed by the flow rates of the junction inlets and outlets.  |
