Computer-Aided Modelling of Stormwater Systems: Advanced Tools Supporting Sustainable Development of Urbanised Catchments [Hardcover]

Computer-Aided Modelling of Stormwater Systems deals with the construction of probabilistic models of rainfall and their use in sizing retention tanks. It?probes?methods of sensitivity & uncertainty analysis of hydrodynamic models of urban catchments as well as proprietary calculation algorithms for the sizing of retention tanks.

Bartosz Szelg is the author of the doctoral dissertation Influence of the shape of the stormwater inflow hydrograph on the capacity and selection of downstream facilities. He is a specialist in the field of urban catchment modelling using hydrodynamic and statistical models. He has authored works on development and calibration of hydrodynamic models for quantitative and qualitative forecasting using probabilistic methods (GLUE). He has also developed numerous probabilistic models for sizing retention reservoirs and overflows taking into account stochastic rainfall characteristics and uncertainty parameter of hydrodynamic models.

His current research directions are focused on implementation of statistical methods for evaluation of stormwater network operation in the aspect of its potential modernisation, development of methods for dimensioning facilities in stormwater systems taking into account the dynamics of rainfall changes over many years, rainfall origin and changes in area imperviousness. He also works with applications of machine learning methods to model the operation of sewage networks and the quality of wastewater, taking into aclӯ
