The Multi Solute Water Quality (MSQ) function in InfoWorks WS Pro
00:09
allows users to model complex reactions between multiple chemical and biological species.
00:15
MSQ provides the ability to model several interacting chemicals in the water system.
00:21
MSQ is an alternative to the basic water quality simulation functionality that only allows users to model a single substance.
00:29
Basic water quality and MSQ can be simulated at the same time, but the “basic substance” will not interact with the substances in MSQ.
00:38
The reactions for MSQ models are reported in terms of mass, rather than stoichiometry.
00:44
Typically, mg/L is used for dissolved substances and mg/m2 is used for absorbed substances.
00:53
Equations are defined in terms of conversion of mass from one substance to another,
00:58
and reaction rates are proportionate to concentration.
01:02
MSQ is run within the water quality simulation.
01:05
There are five types of results: three for links, and two for reservoirs and nodes:
01:11
Link types: Average surface concentration – concentration on the wall of the link, the average throughout the link (mass per area).
01:21
Peak surface concentration – maximum concentration on the wall of the link.
01:27
The link is divided into segments for computational purposes, so this peak is the maximum observed across all segments.
01:35
Peak concentration – refers to the concentration of dissolved solute
01:40
(that is, in the bulk of the pipe) and specifically to the maximum value observed across the segments.
01:46
Node types: Dissolved concentration (mass per volume).
01:53
Source concentration — incoming from a source profile (mass per volume).
01:59
Be aware that, for each of these types of results, there will be multiple occurrences, one for each solute.
02:06
InfoWorks WS MSQ allows you to implement your own equations
02:11
to efficiently model reactive constituents in the comfort of your InfoWorks WS Pro user interface.
