This page is about a simulation of the Highland Park Reservoir. The purpose was to identify and possibly mitigate stagnant water by creating alternative flow patterns. Boundary Element method was used to model this problem.
Case 1 and Case 2 in these pictures denote the "Current Situation" and an "Alternate Scenario". In Case 1, there are 2 inlets and 4 outlets, and the flow pattern results in very slow flow rates and lot of stagnation points (dark blue colored regions).
In Case 2, there is only 1 inlet and 1 outlet, and the two outlets "Out #1" and "Out #2" are connected by pipe. This scenario results in much better flow pattern and very few stagnation points.
These images, produced by Greg Foss, PSC, show Flow Rates, Velocity Streamlines, and Pressure for the two cases.
