The grid cell-based routing model has recently been used to simulate direct runoff hydrographs at catchment scales. This study develops a flexible event-based runoff routing algorithm to simulate a direct runoff hydrograph (DRH). The experiment was based on the spatiotemporal inputs of a hydrological data set. The flexibility is based on the time step and grid cell size applied in the original STORE-DHM. Rainfall distribution was obtained using radar data adjusted by the measured point ground, while the runoff yield was determined using the NRCS-CN method. The parameter distribution was captured in the GIS environment as raster data formats. Furthermore, it was converted into ASCII data formats for scripting the routing algorithm using Matlab programming codes. The model algorithm was tested for storm events within two small study river systems in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. One event in each catchment was selected and calibrated to the observed hydrograph, treating the Curve Number (CN) and Manning coefficient (n) values as parameter calibrations. In the end, two events were selected for validation. The proposed routing model algorithm simulates DRHs of all selected events in the study areas with excellent performance. The Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient was greater than 0.75 for all DRH during validation, and the volume bias and peak discharge error were less than 25%.

This study investigates the comparative performance of event-based and continuous simulation modelling of a stormwater management model (EPA-SWMM) in calculating total runoff hydrographs and direct runoff hydrographs. Myponga upstream and Scott Creek catchments in South Australia were selected as the case study catchments and model performance was assessed using a total of 36 streamflow events from the period of 2001 to 2004. Goodness-of-fit of the EPA-SWMM models developed using automatic calibration were assessed using eight goodness-of-fit measures including Nash–Sutcliff efficiency (NSE), NSE of daily high flows (ANSE), Kling–Gupta efficiency (KGE), etc. The results of this study suggest that event-based modelling of EPA-SWMM outperforms the continuous simulation approach in producing both total runoff hydrograph (TRH) and direct runoff hydrograph (DRH).

We describe a decentralized routing algorithm with physical time windows for modular conveying systems. Existing routing algorithms for modular conveyors are already capable of bi-directional conveying while avoiding conflicts such as collisions, deadlocks, livelocks and starvation effects. In addition to avoiding conflicts, routing algorithms must also select routes that reduce the travel time. No existing algorithm for modular conveyors bases this decision on the expected physical lead time, even though physical lead time directly affects the system throughput. In this publication, we present an algorithm that uses the physical lead time to select routes while avoiding conflicts.

Abstract. Travel-time distributions are a comprehensive tool for the characterization of hydrological system dynamics. Unlike streamflow hydrographs, they describe the movement and storage of water inside and through the hydrological system. Until recently, studies using such travel-time distributions have generally either been applied to simple (artificial toy) models or to real-world catchments using available time series, e.g. stable isotopes. Whereas the former are limited in their realism, the latter are limited in their use of available data sets. In our study, we employ a middle ground by using the mesoscale Hydrological Model (mHM) and apply it to a catchment in Central Germany. Being able to draw on multiple large data sets for calibration and verification, we generate a large array of spatially distributed states and fluxes. These hydrological outputs are then used to compute the travel-time distributions for every grid cell in the modeling domain. A statistical analysis shows the general soundness of the upscaling scheme employed in mHM and reveal precipitation, saturated soil moisture and potential evapotranspiration as important predictors for explaining the spatial heterogeneity of mean travel times. In addition, we demonstrate and discuss the high information content of mean travel times for characterization of internal hydrological processes.
