| Parameter | Recommended Value (Domestic WWTP) | Description | |-----------|-------------------------------------|-------------| | Maximum Time Step | 0.5 – 1.0 hour | Prevents overshoot during diurnal loading changes | | Minimum Time Step | 0.001 hour | Used during stiff kinetic events (e.g., peak ammonia spikes) | | Relative Tolerance | 1e-4 | Balances speed vs. accuracy; lower values (1e-6) for research | | Stiffness Detection | Auto | Switches to implicit integration when rapid state changes occur |
Chapter 4: Simulation Control & Solver Settings 4.1 Introduction to Dynamic Simulation BioWin 6.2 employs an advanced asynchronous solver to model activated sludge, anaerobic digestion, and biofilm processes. Unlike steady-state calculators, BioWin’s dynamic engine solves differential equations for over 120 state variables per process element (e.g., carbonaceous matter, nitrogen species, phosphorus fractions, and alkalinity). biowin 6.2 manual
