A method was developed that employs thin boards (0.56 m) comprising different paving materials (2 asphalt types and concrete) typically used in urban environments. Boards can be placed at various locations of interest within an urban catchment to investigate accumulation of contaminants over specified periods of time. Boards are then placed under a rainfall simulator in order to generate runoff...

This manuscript describes the MatSWMM toolbox, an open-source Matlab, Python, and LabVIEW-based software package for the analysis and design of real-time control (RTC) strategies in urban drainage systems (UDS). MatSWMM includes control-oriented models of UDS, and the storm water management model (SWMM) of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as well as systematic-system edition functi...

A model was developed to estimate total suspended solids (TSS) removal in the Stormceptor, an oil/sediment separator. The model was based on a commonly used continuous simulation model (USEPA SWMM) for hydrological processes. The suspended solids’ loading was estimated using build-up and wash-off equations. The solids were assumed to be distributed into five particle sizes for settling calculat...
