Sound management of sewer networks and minimization of the pollution discharged into receiving waters through combined sewer overflows need in-depth knowledge of the flow rates and pollutant loads conveyed in sewers. A precise knowledge of the pollutant discharge relies on a good assessment of the spatial distribution of the velocities in a cross section, as they are involved both in flowrate, and distribution of concentration. Our research teams are studying the representativeness of velocity profiles in real sewers by using experimental and numerical tools. This paper presents the experimental site and results before explaining the numerical study that is in progress and comparing the experimental and numerical results.
