Mahmoodian, M. (author), Torres-Matallana, Jairo Arturo (author), Leopold, Ulrich (author), Schutz, Georges (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)In this study, applicability of a data-driven Gaussian Process Emulator (GPE) technique to develop a dynamic surrogate model for a computationally expensive urban drainage simulator is investigated. Considering rainfall time series as the main driving force is a challenge in this regard due to the high dimensionality problem. However, this...journal article 2018

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Cecinati, Francesca (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Integrated Catchment Modelling aims to simulate jointly urban drainage systems, wastewater treatment plant and rivers. The effect of rainfall input uncertainties in the modelling of individual urban drainage systems has been discussed in several studies already. However, this influence changes when simultaneously simulating several urban...journal article 2017

Duinmeijer, S.P.A. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Wastewater pumping stations can experience problems due the presence of floating particles of solidified fat and grease. To transport this debris, the ability of free-surface vortices as transport mechanism is investigated. An experimental set-up is developed where the behaviour of large particles (0.02 - 0.04 m) in the vortex flow are analysed....conference paper 2017

Lepot, M.J. (author), Makris, K. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Separate sewer systems are sensitive to illegal or mis-connections. Several techniques (including the Distributed Temperature Sensor) are now available to identify and locate those connections. Based on thermal fingerprints, DTS allows the localization of each lateral connection along a reach. The use of Infra-Red camera has been investigated...journal article 2017

van Daal-Rombouts, P.M.M. (author), Gruber, Günter (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Muschalla, Dirk (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Real time control (RTC) is generally viewed as a viable method for optimising the performance of urban wastewater systems. A literature review on the performance evaluation of RTC demonstrated a lack of consensus on how to do this. Two main deficiencies were identified: omitting uncertainty analysis and applying limited evaluation periods. A...journal article 2017

Lepot, M.J. (author), Aubin, Jean Baptiste (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)A thorough review has been performed on interpolation methods to fill gaps in time-series, efficiency criteria, and uncertainty quantifications. On one hand, there are numerous available methods: interpolation, regression, autoregressive, machine learning methods, etc. On the other hand, there are many methods and criteria to estimate...journal article 2017

Lepot, M.J. (author), Aubin, Jean Baptiste (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Mašić, Alma (author)UV/Vis spectrophotometers have been used to monitor water quality since the early 2000s. Calibration of these devices requires sampling campaigns to elaborate relations between recorded spectra and measured concentrations. In order to build robust calibration data sets, several spectra must be recorded per sample. This study compares two...journal article 2017

(author)This paper presents a model (inspired by another model) to calculate water temperature in free-surface flow with two main innovations: the convective heat transfer occurs only at the wetted perimeter of pipes, and the model was integrated to commercial software used for hydraulic calculations in drainage systems. Given these innovations, we...journal article 2017

Post, J.A.B. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)The performance of lateral house connections has a direct impact on sewer serviceability. Despite the potential consequences of a blockage, these components are generally maintained with a reactive approach. As inspection data on the condition of lateral house connections are scarce, this study adopts a statistical procedure to support...journal article 2016

(author)Optimisation or real time control (RTC) studies in wastewater systems increasingly require rapid simulations of sewer systems in extensive catchments. To reduce the simulation time calibrated simplified models are applied, with the performance generally based on the goodness of fit of the calibration. In this research the performance of three...journal article 2016

The control influences the operation of the primary settling tanks and influent pumping station to reduce reduce ammonia peaks in the WWTP effluent. The control takes into account the treatment capacity of the biological tanks, the influent...conference paper 2016

Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author), Duinmeijer, S.P.A. (author)Sumps of wastewater pumping station can experience problems due the formation of (solid) floating layers of fat and scum as a result of insufficient current guidelines for sump design with respect to transport of floating debris. To complimentary the guidelines, the use of free-surface vortices is defined as a potential transport mechanism for...conference paper 2016
