A storm water basin model using settling velocity distribution
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Quantifying processes that affect the fate of particles in storm water basins is a complex but necessary step to predict the effect of various pollutants on receiving waters. A dynamic model for storm water basins taking advantage of the experimental fractionation of particles in different settling velocity classes has been developed to describe the water quality dynamics in the basin. This paper is focused on the calibration of the model using total suspended solids (TSS) time series data and settling velocity distribution data obtained from ViCAs (vitesse de chute en assainissement) tests. Experimental sampling campaigns have been conducted at an actual storm water basin to identify the TSS behaviour under various operational conditions. For one set of experiments, the outlet was always open, and for another, the outlet was kept closed to allow settling before release to the receiving water. The experimental results reveal spatial heterogeneity of the particle concentrations in the basin during the initial phases of water retention for the closed outlet sampling campaign. A calibration procedure is proposed to fit the model to the experimental data. This model was found able to reproduce both open and closed outlet TSS concentration time series with only three particle classes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
