Abstract
In sewage treatment plants, design of a series of basins or tanks is required. In these tanks, complex or more simple physical and/or biological and/or chemical phenomena are developed within a hydrodynamic environment which is a water flow. Choosing or verifying dimensions of these tanks is usually based on the discretization of these phenomena to simpler processes, called unit operations. Nevertheless, it is obvious that in spite of many quite satisfactory results the superposition of the corresponding unit operations does not coincide with the discreted phenomenon itself. Thus, for instance, although the calculation of a grit chamber may be quite simple and even highly objective, the calculation of an aeration basin needs a more sophisticated model, because hydraulic, biological and physicochemical operations are simultaneously and interrelatedly developed.
