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

van Daal-Rombouts, P.M.M. (author), Sun, Siao (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Bertrand-Krajewski, J.-L. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (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

(author)This research deals with the design and implementation of an integrated control for the WWTP of Eindhoven. 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

Moreno Rodenas, A. (author), Cecinati, F. (author), ten Veldhuis, Marie-claire (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)This study addresses the effect of spatial and temporal resolution of rainfall fields on the performance of a simplified integrated catchment model for predicting dissolved oxygen concentrations in a river. For that purpose we propose a procedure to generate rainfall products with increasing spatial information at different time step...conference paper 2016

van Riel, W. (author), Post, J.A.B. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Herder, P.M. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Operational decision-making processes for networked infrastructure management often occur as a multi-actor planning problem, implying these are based on negotiations between different stakeholders in addition to available system quality information. As such, does more accurate data about actual structural condition lead to other or better...journal article 2016

This study applied a methodology to develop a quantitative gully pot sedimentation and blockage model. To this end, sediment bed level time series from 300 gully pots, spanning 15 months, were collected. A...journal article 2016

Van Riel, W.A.P. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Herder, P.M. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R.

It is unknown to what extent each information source is appreciated by decision makers. Further insight into this relative importance and into implicit factors, improves...conference paper 2014

Stanic, N. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)There is still a long way to go in understanding the behaviour of solids in sewers due to the difficulties in obtaining sufficient monitoring data to be able to understand the dominant processes. Laser profilers have shown to be capable of measuring the pipe interior, with a high accuracy, which is sufficient to be able to detect and quantify...conference paper 2014

(author)Being able to accurately determine weir discharges is of key importance in urban water management. The most common method is performing a level measurement and calculating the discharge using the standard weir equation. Since this equation is only valid in certain conditions, this can lead to large deviations from the actual discharge. In this...conference paper 2014
