| Summary: | A fundamental aspect of sewer network design involves the application of constraints to ensure optimal performance. One such constraint that has not been widely applied is the constraint for transitional flow. Transitional flow is characterized by an unstable surface that can lead to the pressurization of a pipe, which can result in a system collapse. This research focuses on determining the cost implications of incorporating this constraint. Various designs were developed using the UTOPIA software across different case studies. The results indicate that integrating this constraint does not significantly increase the cost of the hydraulic design of sewer networks. Moreover, this constraint enhances the reliability of sewer networks. |
