Components

Component names and numbers must be specified in this dialogue.

The components are user defined. Each component is modelled using a defined concentration unit and component type. Components are only required to be defined in this page when stand- alone AD-simulations are to be conducted (without any Water Quality / MIKE ECO Lab simulations included).

Note: For Water Quality simulations using the MIKE ECO Lab Framework it is not required to define any Components in this property page. Component names in an MIKE ECO Lab (Water Quality) simulation are derived from the ‘State Variables’ definition in the MIKE ECO Lab template file.

Component definitions includes:

Component

Here one or more component names are defined by a user-defined string. To add or remove advection-dispersion components use the ‘+’ (append row) and ‘-’ (delete row) buttons.

Type

The type of component must be specified. Four types are available from the drop-down menu:

·         Concentration

·         Temperature

·         Bacteria concentration

·         Salinity

Unit for results

The requested unit for each of the components is selected through the drop-down menu. The available options depend on the selected component type.

Units for component type Concentration:

·         mu-g/meter^3: microgram per cubic meter

·         mg/meter^3: milligram per cubic meter

·         gram/meter^3: gram per cubic meter

·         kg/meter^3: kilogram per cubic meter

·         mu-g/liter: microgram per litre

·         mg/liter: milligram per litre

·         gram/liter: gram per litre

·         pound/feet^3: pound per cubic feet

·         ton/meter^3: ton per cubic meter

Units for component type Temperature:

·         degree Celsius: degrees in Celsius

·         degree Fahrenheit: degrees in Fahrenheit

·         degree Kelvin: degrees in Kelvin

Units for component type Bacteria:

·         million/100 ml: million of bacterial counts per 100 ml

·         per 100 ml: bacteria cells per 100 ml

·         per litre: bacteria cells per liter

Units for component type Salinity:

·         PSU: Practical Salinity Units
