Abstract
A commercially available 3-D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model (STAR-CD) was used to investigate capacity upgrading options for a combined sewer overflow (CSO) facility of inadequate capacity. The numerical model was verified against the data collected in two physical models. The need for verifying the CFD model was given by the complexity of the CSO facility, which comprises several interconnected tanks. The verified numerical model was then applied to analyze hydraulic conditions in the whole facility for major structural modifications with the aim of reducing or eliminating untreated overflows from the facility. Many scenarios were proposed and tested in the study and the two most promising structural modifications, scenarios 1 and 2, are presented in the paper. Both appeared to meet the design condition of increasing the facility capacity to 60 m3/s, but better performing scenario 1 would be significantly more costly to implement than scenario 2. Even though the study focused on a particular CSO facility, hydraulic conditions in the studied facility represent general flow conditions in typical CSO or stormwater settling facilities and, therefore, the numerical modeling methods used are applicable to solving a wide range of hydraulic problems encountered at similar facilities.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
