White Paper: An Innovative Method For Modeling, Analysis, And Prediction Of Structural Stormwater BMP Performance

Many stormwater structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) rely on gravitational particle settling for sediment removal. The University of Minnesota's St. Anthony Falls Laboratory (SAFL) and BaySaver Technologies, Inc. (BaySaver), a manufacturer of hydrodynamic structural BMPs, have been able to establish statistically valid empirical correlations between the dimensionless Peclet Number (Pe) and sediment removal efficiencies in BaySaver's hydrodynamic separators.
