TC-14 1D River Test Case TC-14 1D River Test Case

Description:

This model replicates a steady-state test case described in Thomann and Mueller’s paper, “Principles of Surface Water Quality Modeling and Control.” The objective is to use EFDC+ Explorer (EE) and EFDC+ to simulate contaminant transport in a one-dimensional river system using a conservative dye tracer.

The test case represents the discharge of municipal wastewater from an urban area into a relatively small river under average annual flow conditions. The wastewater is assumed to be treated by a trickling filter plant prior to discharge. A dye tracer is used as a surrogate to represent contaminant transport, providing a simplified framework for evaluating model performance.
