Conclusions<br />

• <strong>1D</strong> models <strong>of</strong>fer a better solution<br />

• where <strong>2D</strong> resolution is too coarse<br />

• for pipes, manholes <strong>and</strong> small structures<br />

• <strong>1D</strong> requires more judgment<br />

(therefore greater uncertainty)<br />

• <strong>1D</strong> solutions vary (eg. steady vs unsteady)<br />

• <strong>1D</strong> solutions are<br />

• very fast<br />

• a poor approximation <strong>of</strong> complex (non-unidirectional) flows<br />
