Two Methods to Calibrate RDII RTK parameters in H2OMAP SWMM and InfoSWMM

Image
Two Methods to Calibrate RDII RTK parameters in H2OMAP SWMM and InfoSWMM There are two methods to calibrate the RTK parameters for RDII Analysis in InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM.  The two methods are similar but use a different approach to calibrate the data: 1.        The RDII Hydrograph component of the Calibrator Add On also uses a Genetic Algorithm to calibrate the upstream RDII locations based on monitored flow but using the hydraulic network for the calibration. 2.       The RDII Analyst uses a Genetic Algorithm to Calibrate the RTK parameters for one location using monitored rainfall and flow data.  This calibration does not take into account the hydraulic routing in the network.  Figure 1.  RDII Analyst and GA Calibrator

From 3QD - THE MATHEMATICS OF ROUGHNESS

Image
THE MATHEMATICS OF ROUGHNESS Jim Holt  reviews Benoit B. Mandelbrot's  The Fractalist: Memoir of a Scientific Maverick , in the NYRB: Benoit Mandelbrot, the brilliant Polish-French-American mathematician who died in 2010, had a poet’s taste for complexity and strangeness. His genius for noticing deep links among far-flung phenomena led him to create a new branch of geometry, one that has deepened our understanding of both natural forms and patterns of human behavior. The key to it is a simple yet elusive idea, that of self-similarity. To see what self-similarity means, consider a homely example: the cauliflower. Take a head of this vegetable and observe its form—the way it is composed of florets. Pull off one of those florets. What does it look like? It looks like a little head of cauliflower, with its own subflorets. Now pull off one of those subflorets. What does  that  look like? A still tinier cauliflower. If you continue this process—and you may soon need a magnifying glass—yo
