FLUPOL MOSQITO, MODELS, SIMULATIONS, CRITICAL ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPMENT

In the domain of water quality modelling in urban drainage, FLUPOL and MOSQITO are among the first software packages to simulate pollutograp hs during a particular rainfall event. They both have similar approach es to the phenomenon. Nevertheless the observed divergences between th em induced a comparison of the two programs by Anjou Recherche and Wal lingford Software. Even if the experiments made with the original cali bration and validation data, followed by the one on the pilot study of the Stangalard, pointed out the difficulty of having a fully balanced benchmark, it seems that the FLUPOL concepts were more appropriate fo r operational engineering.
