About solute data objects

The solute data object is used when carrying out a water quality simulation. Solute data objects are created within solute data object groups.

The solute data object supports:

• Single substance water quality simulations
• Water quality simulations for multiple interacting solutes
• Parallel second-order model (2RA)

The InfoWorks WS Pro functionality for multiple interacting solutes is called Multi Solute Quality (MSQ) and is similar to EPANET’s MSX.

The InfoWorks WS Pro functionality for parallel second-order model (2RA) is a comprehensive bulk chlorine decay model for simulating residuals in water distribution systems (Fisher, I., Kastl, G., Sathasivan, A. (2017). Urban Water Journal 14 (4), 361-368). Selecting this option will pre-populate the values in the Solute Data Object dialog.

Solute data objects are specified using the Solute Data Object dialog.
