Performs a self-purification calculation using the Streeter-Phelps model, which simulates the oxygen dynamics and BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) in a river. This method calculates the degradation of organic matter and the oxygen replenishment through reaeration over a specific river length, helping in assessing water quality.
Parameter | Default Units | Description |
|---|---|---|
Flow | m3/s | Water flow rate |
Cross section area | m2 | Cross-sectional area of the river |
River length | km | Length of the river |
Upstream BOD | mg/L | Biochemical oxygen demand at upstream |
Upstream dissolved oxygen | mg/L | Dissolved oxygen concentration upstream |
Temperature | °C | Water temperature (default: 20°C) |
Deoxygenation constant | d−1 | Rate of oxygen consumption |
Reaeration constant | d−1 | Rate of oxygen replenishment |
Parameter | Default Units | Description |
|---|---|---|
Flow | m3/s | Output water flow rate |
Downstream dissolved oxygen | mg/L | Oxygen concentration at the downstream point |
Downstream BOD | mg/L | BOD at the downstream point |
Critical dissolved oxygen concentration | mg/L | Minimum dissolved oxygen concentration |
Critical length | km | River length where oxygen reaches a minimum |
