Simulation of Permanent Movement in Collectors Non-Standardized Sewerage

### **Abstract**

Sewage collectors for domestic waste water and rainwater have flow sections that are standardized in shape and size. The collector with vertical dimension H > 1.50 m is admitted to be visitable and for H ≤ 0.80 m it is not visitable. Sewage collectors can be made in demanding situations with non standardized flow sections. A series of natural and anthropogenic action can change the geometric and hydraulic parameters of the flow section over time. Thus, the flow section no longer respects the initial geometric and hydraulic parameters and becomes a non-standardized section. Knowing the hydraulic parameters at such a flow section becomes difficult for monitoring the mining process. The circular, ovoid, circular bell, parabolic bell type flow section transforms into sections consisting of straight lines and circular arcs or only circular arcs. The factors that produce are erosion, siltation and cementation of transported material, repair and rehabilitation works and others. The erosion phenomenon also causes a change in the roughness on the watered perimeter of the section. In order to obtain the hydraulic operating parameters of the visitable sever collectors with nonstandard flow section, several calculation programs have been elaborated on the forms of permanent water movement.
