Real-Time Control of Urban Drainage Systems

Abstract

A hydrodynamic process model based on shallow water equations is discretized on 1D-networks with the method of finite volumes. Based on the finite volumes we replace algebraic coupling conditions by a consistent finite volume junction model. We use discrete adjoint computation for one step Runge-Kutta schemes to generate fast and robust gradients for descent methods. We use the descent methods to generate an optimal control for an example network and discuss the computational results.
