The principal functions of drinking water service reservoirs include the provision of a buffer between supply and demand and storage volume for emergency use. Clearly, flow short circuiting and the subsequent formation of flow dead zones can have a detrimental impact on the quality of the water discharged to the distribution network. Flow modeling provides insights into your fluid flow problems that would be too costly or simply prohibitive by experimental techniques alone.
