Table 1. Assumptions and constraints applicable to modelling ownership on links

Background

In Source, components that are physically or logically connected are joined using a link.  If the connection is significant enough to have an effect on the time that water would take to pass along it then the link is modelled as a routing link.  Each routing link is subdivided into one or more divisions.

States of a division: live or dead

...

A division is dead if x = 1 and  or if x ≠ 1 and the following is true:

Equation 1	Image Modified

Ownership of division storage

...

The live storage in a division is the storage above dead storage, as shown in Figure 1, and is obtained from:

Equation 2	Image Modified

The total volume of water in a division is then:

Equation 3	Image Modified

Sharing dead storage

Ownership of the dead storage is shared by fixed ratio (Ratio_ds(o)) to all of the owners. Hence:

Equation 4	Image Modified

Where the sum of all the ratios is equal to one. That is:

Equation 5	Image Modified

Also if the maximum total dead storage specified by the modeller is Storage_dsMAX then each owner’s share of this is:

Equation 6	Image Modified

Water is borrowed and lent between all of the owners so that the fixed ownership share given by equation (4) is always maintained.

...

Live storage is shared according to the owner’s share of the index flow rate () (see Proportional Routing, below, for an explanation of this approach). The live storage calculation is done after each owner’s outflow has been determined.

Equation 7	Image Modified

Equation 8	Image Modified

Ownership of fluxes

Inflow flux

In the flow phase, the outflow flux from the division upstream becomes the inflow flux to the current division (or the outflow flux from the upstream node becomes the inflow to the division if the most upstream division in a link is being considered). The same is true for the inflow flux per owner (the ownership processing for the upstream division or node has already determined its outflow per owner).

Equation 9	Image Modified

Equation 10	Image Modified

Outflow flux

The total outflow volume  is also known after the reach’s flow routing is complete.  Ownership processing determines each owner’s share of this outflow flux.  The owner’s share of this flux is calculated based on mass balance and proportional routing.  The resultant equation (equation (23)) and its derivation are explained in the section on Owner’s outflow formula (excludes high flow losses) below.

...

1. Fixed loss fluxes whose ownership is known a priori (because they are shared by fixed ratio or by some other means such as time-series or expressionfunction), and
2. Proportional loss fluxes that are shared in proportion to the ownership of the water in the division.

...

The total fixed loss, Loss_fixed, is distributed to owners based on the specified ratios, expressionfunction, or time series such that:

Equation 11	Image Modified

An owner’s share of fixed losses is adjusted if that owner does not have sufficient water in the division to cater for the loss.  In a live division, an owner’s highest possible fixed loss occurs when their outflow is zero.  In a dead division, the owner’s fixed loss cannot be larger than their share of dead storage.  The Borrow and Payback mechanism is used to adjust owner shares of fixed loss for these situations.  See Ownership adjustments for more information.

...

If the division is live, owner shares of proportional losses are based on each owner’s index flow rate (see Proportional Routing for an explanation of this approach).

Equation 12	Image Modified

Equation 13	Image Modified

If the division is dead, proportional losses are shared according to the owner’s fixed share of dead storage:

Equation 14	Image Modified

Murray-style High Flow Loss Sharing

...

It is assumed that ownership is conserved in every division of a reach. This is reflected in the ownership mass balance equation below.  This shows that the difference between an owner’s share of storage at the beginning and end of a time step should be the sum of their share of all the division’s fluxes.

Equation 15	Image Modified

When Murray-style high flow losses are specified, these are separated from other proportional losses, and the mass balance equation takes the form:

Equation 16	Image Modified

Live division model, assumptions and equations

...

The owner’s index flow rate () is determined from the inflow volume I(o), outflow volume O(0) and the Muskingum parameter x (see Link storage routing - SRG for details):

Equation 17	Image Modified

Proportional routing Proportional routing

Proportional routing of ownership

Proportional routing is used to share the division’s active (live) storage between owners. This is based on the idea that ownership travels at the rate that each owners’ flow influences the flow in the division. If we consider a division and divide each owners’ inflow into a very large number of small pieces,  that each time one more of these slices is passed through, the increment in division storage (Storage) can be approximated as a linear function g of the increment in the index flow rate :

Equation 18	Image Modified

It can also be assumed that g_o ≈ g_o-1 ; i.e. the ratio g is the same for each owner’s slice of water as it passes through the division.  After summing up all of the slices the following relationship is obtained:

Equation 19	Image Modified

From this, lateral loss fluxes that are proportionally shared can also be shared in proportion to the ownership ratios in live storage, as this is the same as sharing in proportion to each owner’s index flow rate.  Hence, substituting from equation (19) into equation (13) and rearranging yields:

Equation 20	Image Modified

Owner's outflow formula (excludes high flow losses)

...

To simplify later steps, r is defined as:

Equation 21	Image Modified

Combining mass balance equation (15) with equations (19) and (21) gives:

Equation 22	Image Modified

Rewriting (22) by substituting equation (17) for , and rearranging in terms of owner outflow volume , gives:

Equation 23	Image Modified

If high flow losses are not specified, the result of this outflow volume equation is used in the mass balance equation to determine division storage at the end of a time-step.

...

In the Murray, losses caused by flows in excess of the regulated flow range are shared to owners in proportion to how far each of them is above their fixed share of this range.  Hence, if is owner o’s current flow rate, Ratio_HFT(o) is their share of the high flow threshold,is the high flow threshold,the total flow rate, and Loss_HF the total high flow loss, then owner o’s share of the high flow loss is:

Equation 24	Image Modified

Substituting equation (19) into equation (24) enables it to be re-written in terms of the division’s storages, as follows:

Equation 25	Image Modified

High flow losses are worn only by owners where Storage(o,t)-Storage_dsMAX(o) is greater than their share of the high flow threshold (Storage_HFTRatio_HFT(o)).  Owners that will not be required to contribute the high flow loss are identified by calculating Storage(o,t) for each owner assuming that Loss_HF=0 and finding those that fall short of their share of the high flow threshold.

From equation (25), for those owners that exceed their share of the threshold:

Equation 26	Image Modified

The denominator of equation (26) is the total volume above the high flow threshold of owners contributing to the high flow loss.  The equations that follow are used to determine values required to find this.

Firstly, a modified high flow threshold is defined that applies to the owners, j (where j is defined in Table 2, and the relevant owners are those that have, with Loss_HF=0, a trial value of Storage(o,t) such that Storage(o,t) > Storage_dsMAX(o) + Storage_HFTRatio_HFT(o)):

Equation 27	Image Modified

where:

 is set-builder notation to indicate that the modified high flow threshold is the sum of all the owners’ shares of the threshold where the high flow loss is not going to be zero.

Next, it is necessary to determine the total volume of water this time step belonging to owners that are not contributing to the high flow loss, i.e. Storage_exclude:

Equation 28	Image Modified

The denominator of equation (26) (current live volume contributing to high flow loss) is then:

Equation 29	Image Modified

Equation (26) can now be recast in terms of the total volume in the division:

Equation 30	Image Modified

Rearranged:

Equation 31	Image Modified

High flow loss solutions over a time-step

...

In this case, the index flow rate is the same as the inflow rate, and an owner’s share of inflow will determine their share of active storage.  The proportional routing formula (equation (19)) can be rewritten and applied to inflow as shown in equation (32), below and then rearranged to determine the owner’s share of storage.  

Equation 32	Image Modified

Equation 33	Image Modified

The owner’s share of proportional lateral flux is then found by substituting into equation (20) and rearranging.

Equation 34	Image Modified

Each owner’s storage Storage(o,t) - Storage_dsMAX(o) is compared to Storage_HFTRatio_HFT(o) to determine whether a high flow loss applies.  If it does, equation (24) is used to determine this value.  Mass balance is applied to determine each owner’s share of outflow.

...

This solution is applied in divisions where Muskingum weighting x ≠ 1 to owners that have Storage(o,t) ≤ Storage_dsMAX(o) + Storage_HFTRatio_HFT(o). To solve mass balance, the outflow volume (O(o)) is recast in terms of the division’s live storages. Recalling the index flow ratefrom equation (17) and rearranging for O(o):

Equation 35	Image Modified

Equation (35) can be rewritten in terms of live storage using the proportional routing equation, equation (19), as follows:

Equation 36	Image Modified

Combining the mass balance and proportional loss equations (i.e. equations (15) and (19)) with equation (36), and rearranging yields:

Equation 37	Image Modified

Case of Muskingum weighting x ≠ 1, owner with a high flow loss

This solution is applied in divisions where Muskingum weighting x ≠ 1 to owners that have Storage(o,t) > Storage_dsMAX(o) + Storage_HFTRatio_HFT(o).  The approach is based on defining a modified proportional loss which is the remaining proportional loss not accounted for after considering those owners not contributing to the high flow loss:

Equation 38	Image Modified

Combining the mass balance and proportional loss equations (i.e. equations (15) and (19)), the loss equation (31), equation (35), and equation (38) above, and rearranging yields:

Equation 39	Image Modified

Potential issue with high flow loss calculation (Case of x ≠ 1): Outflow can be negative

...

Proportional routing cannot be used to determine owner shares where there is no active storage in a division. In this situation, the fully mixed (continuous stirred reactor) model is used.  This approach is based on the concept that ownership will travel as if it were a substance mixed uniformly throughout the routing storages.  If a substance, i, is completely mixed throughout a volume and a sample from that volume is taken, the following relationship applies:

Equation 40	Image Modified

where:

M is the total mass in the volume;

...

To calculate an owner’s storage volume (Storage(o,t)) in a dead division, the fully mixed principle expressed in equation (40) is applied to a stored volume of water (Storage), with outflow (due to fluxes) O as the sample, and ownership o as the substance of interest.  The resultant relationship is:

Equation 41	Image Modified

Rearranging this:

Equation 42	Image Modified

Proportional losses in a dead division are shared in the proportions of the stored water, therefore:

Equation 43	Image Modified

Reiterating equation (15), the mass balance of a routing division over a time step is:

Equation 44	Image Modified

Substituting equations (42) and (43) into (44), and rearranging the unknowns to the left hand side yields:

Equation 45	Image Modified

This can be rearranged to solve for an owner’s storage volume, Storage(o,t), as follows:

Equation 46	Image Modified

Ownership adjustments Ownership adjustments

Ownership adjustments

...

• The division is transitioning from dead to live, i.e. between the continuous stirred reactor and proportional routing models. In this case, owner fixed loss and the previous time step storage are adjusted.
• The fixed losses specified by the modeller exceed the owner’s ability to meet a lateral outflow flux requirement. When this occurs, owner shares of fixed losses are modified, and the changes tracked in the appropriate borrow-and-payback account balances. (Refer to the Borrow and Payback - SRG entry for  for a description of these balances).
• High flow losses cause outflow to be negative. When this occurs, owner shares of outflow are modified using the borrow and payback mechanism.

...

If the division has started flowing again in the current model time step - that is, it has gone from being dead to being live - a correction is required if there was airspace in the dead storage last time step (i.e. if dead storage was not full: Storage(t-1) < Storage_dsMAX).  Firstly the airspace volume to be filled is calculated:

Equation 47	Image Modified

Secondly, each owner’s fixed loss for the current model time step is increased to represent their contribution to filling the airspace storage volume, and is equivalent to reducing the volume available to contribute to filling live storage by the requisite amount.  The relevant equation is:

Equation 48	Image Modified

This is also consistent with the fully mixed principle discussed in the section on Owner’s storage formula, above.  The final step is to adjust the value of the storage for last time step, so it is the appropriate value to use in calculations for a live division in the current time step (note, this adjustment occurs after outputs for the last time step are recorded).  That is:

Equation 49	Image Modified

Equation 50	Image Modified

Borrow and payback

If an owner’s share of fixed losses is greater than their available capacity to meet a lateral outflow flux requirement, then an adjustment is made which entails borrowing from other owners that have surplus capacity available, with later payback.  Different methods are used to determine whether each owner has a capacity deficit or has surplus capacity, depending on whether the division is live or dead (see the sub-sections below).  The borrow and payback options available are:

...

In a live division, the maximum fixed loss an owner could meet is that which would occur when their outflow is equal to zero (i.e. when O(o) = 0).  The value of Loss_fixed(o) that will result in O(o) = 0 can be found from equation (23), re-expressed as follows:

Equation 51	Image Modified

For each owner, the values of surplus and deficit for borrow and payback are therefore:

Equation 52	Image Modified

Equation 53	Image Modified

Live Division – Outflow Borrow and Payback

...

In a dead division, determining whether each owner has a surplus or a deficit, and the magnitude, is based on the mass balance equation (equation (15)), re-expressed as follows:

Equation 54	Image Modified

A positive net volume is a surplus, and a negative net volume is a deficit.  Hence the values for borrow and payback are:

Figure 2. Flowchart- of main steps in ownership processing for a division in a time step

Image Modified

For every division, to determine owner volumes of inflow, lateral flux, outflow, storage and mass balance, the steps for each model time step are as follows:

1. Initialise temporary parameters.

2. Set each owner’s upstream inflow I(o) to equal that owner’s share of the upstream component’s outflow using equation (10). (The upstream component is the next division upstream, or if it is the first division in the link, the upstream node).

3. Determine the volume of the total flow based flux, fFlow_LG(), for this time step to be shared according to fixed ratio, expression function or time series specified by the modeller.  Where relevant, also determine the volume, Loss_HF, that is to be shared using high flow rules (i.e. Murray-style losses), which is the volume that is in excess of the value of fFlow_LG().
   • If the ownership system uses Murray-style losses:

     1. The flux based on flow up to the high flow threshold is shared according to fixed ratio. This volume is:

        Equation 57	Image Modified

     2. The flux based on flow above the high flow threshold is shared according to high-flow rules. This volume is:

        Equation 58	Image Modified

   • Otherwise, all the flux is shared using fixed shares, expression function or time series specified by the modeller:

     Equation 59	Image Modified

4. Determine every owner’s fixed flux total for this time step (Loss_fixed(o)), where the modeller has specified which of the link’s lateral fluxes (time series, general purpose flow based, groundwater and net evaporation) are fixed at the ownership system level (noting these must satisfy equation (11)).
   1. Time series flux:
      1. Determine the owner’s share of input time series flux(es) Flux_TS(o):

         • If the time series flux for the current link is not input per owner, and for the ownership system time series flux sharing is by fixed ratio, apply the specified owner’s ratio to the total time series flux, Flux_TS, that was calculated prior to ownership processing (Flux_TS has been adjusted to ensure total loss does not exceed the amount of water in the division).

           Equation 60	Image Modified

         • If the time series flux for the current link is input per owner, get the owner’s flux for this time step from the input time series:
           If LossGain_TS < 0 the flux is a gain, this needs no adjustment:

           Equation 61	Image Modified

           Otherwise, the flux is a loss that may need to be scaled down (This is to allow for the case where the time series has pumped the division dry. The overall time series loss Flux_TS has already been adjusted by link processing to ensure losses do not exceed water in the link. Input owner time series losses are scaled down so their sum does not exceed the total  adjusted for any owner time series gains.).

           Equation 62	Image Modified

      2. Set the following

         Equation 63	Image Modified

   2. Determine the owner’s fixed share of the flow based flux when the ownership system uses Murray-style lossesor it uses fixed ratio to share other lateral fluxes:

      Equation 64	Image Modified

      Equation 65	Image Modified

   3. If the ownership system uses fixed ratio to share other lateral fluxes: Apply the owner’s configured Ratio_loss(o) to the remaining lateral fluxes and add their share of these to their fixed flux total:

      • Owner’s net evaporation flux: 

        Equation 66	Image Modified

      • Owner’s groundwater flux: 

        Equation 67	Image Modified

        Equation 68	Image Modified

5. Determine the total proportional flux, Loss_prop.
   1. Initially Loss_prop = 0

   2. If time series flux sharing is ‘Proportional’, a total time series was input, so:

      Equation 69	Image Modified

   3. If Murray-style losses are not being modelled and other lateral flux sharing is ‘Proportional’:

      Equation 70	Image Modified

   4. If other lateral flux sharing is ‘Proportional’:

      Equation 71	Image Modified

6. Determine the division’s state (‘dead’ or ‘live’).
   • If Muskingum weighting factor  and there is no inflow (I = 0), it is ‘dead’:
     State = Dead

   • Otherwise, compare the result of the storage function to the mass balance equation to determine division state (if they are within maxError, the division is ‘live’): 
     
     

     Equation 72	Image Modified

     Equation 73	Image Modified

      then State = Live

     Otherwise State = Dead

7. Find the division’s storage using a method appropriate to the state of the division (i.e. whether ‘dead’ or ‘live’).  These methods are summarised in the two following sections.

8. Calculate each owner’s outflow, O(o), using equations (15) or (16), as appropriate, rearranged so the term O(o) is on the left hand side of the equation. 

   Equation 74	Image Modified

9. Adjust owner shares of outflow as necessary to ensure that none are negative.  The principles are discussed in Ownership Adjustments, above.  In summary, if O(o) < 0, the owner concerned borrows from other owners to ensure O(o)=0.
   • If any owner’s outflow is negative then:

     1. Calculate surplus/deficit for each owner.

        Equation 75	Image Modified

        Equation 76	Image Modified

     2. Pass owner surpluses and deficits to the Borrow method. This will return how much owners borrowed or lent (OwnerBorrowed(o), OwnerLent(o)).

     3. Adjust the outflows to account for borrowing:

        Equation 77	Image Modified

        Equation 78	Image Modified

10.  Calculate owner mass balances to report, based on equation (15) or (16), as appropriate, using adjusted values of O(o)=0.

    Equation 79	Image Modified

Dead division

The steps involved in processing a dead division are as follows:

1. Calculate the final storage for each owner, Storage(o, t), using equation (14):

   Equation 80	Image Modified

2. Fixed losses are adjusted so that mass balance can be achieved when the owner has the configured ratio of dead storage, using equations (54), (55), and (56).

   1. Calculate how much each owner has in excess of the final storage:

      Equation 81	Image Modified

   2. Set each owner’s surplus or deficit:

      Equation 82	Image Modified

      Equation 83	Image Modified

   3. Pass owner surpluses and deficits to the Borrow method (Refer to Borrow and Payback - SRG for more information). This will return how much owners borrowed or lent (OwnerBorrowed(o), OwnerLent(o)).

   4. Adjust the fix losses to account for borrowing:

      Equation 84	Image Modified

      Equation 85	Image Modified

3. Calculate each owner’s share of the proportional lateral flux (Loss_prop(o)) using equation (43).

   1. If the time series flux is specified to be shared proportionally:

      Equation 86	Image Modified

   2. If other lateral fluxes are to be shared proportionally:
      For each of groundwater, net evaporation fluxes and, if Murray-style losses are not being modelled, flow based flux (Flux_GW, Flux_NE, Flux_flow ):  

      Equation 87	Image Modified

Live division

Figure 3 provides an overview of the procedure.  The steps are explained in more detail below.

...

1. If the division is transitioning from dead to live (i.e. State_t-1 = Dead) and Storage(t - 1) < Storage_dsMAX, Storage(t - 1), and the fixed lateral flux for each owner, Loss_fixed(o), are adjusted as described in the Division transitioning from dead to live section under Ownership adjustments (equations (47), (48), (49) and (50) above).  The steps are:

   1. Adjust each owner’s fixed lateral flux to include the volume to fill dead storage

      Equation 88	Image Modified

   2. Set the apparent storage for last time step to the maximum dead storage.

      Equation 89	Image Modified

   3. Set the apparent storage for each owner at the last time step to their share of the maximum dead storage.

      Equation 90	Image Modified

2. Calculate the total ‘live’ storage for reporting (and use in further calculations), where Storage_live = Storage(t) - Storage_dsMAX as per equation (20).
3. Calculate trial storage volumes for each owner (that assume no high flow loss):

   1. If Muskingum  x = 1, outflow and storage are not interdependent, so the proportional routing model can be applied directly:  

      Equation 91	Image Modified

   2. Otherwise outflow and storage interact, so a more complex method is needed:

      1. Adjust owner fixed lateral fluxes to ensure no owner has a negative outflow:

         1. To determine the ratio r, use equation (21)

            Equation 92	Image Modified

            (Note that Storage_live = Storage(t) - Storage_dsMAX)

         2. Adjust owner fixed lateral fluxes to ensure no owner has a negative outflow. This involves finding the maximum fixed loss that each owner can sustain with non-negative outflow and the resultant surplus/deficit using equations (51), (52) and (53). 

            Equation 93	Image Added

            Equation 94	Image Added

            Equation 95	Image Added

         3. Pass owner surpluses and deficits to the Borrow method (Refer to Borrow and Payback - SRG for more information). This will return how much owners borrowed or lent (OwnerBorrowed(o), OwnerLent(o)).

         4. For each owner: Add amount lent and subtract amount borrowed from the fixed loss :- refer to equations 84 and 85.

      2. Use the proportional routing model equation (37) to determine trial volumes for each owner (assuming no high flow losses at this stage): 

         Equation 96	Image Added

Adjust Owner Storage Volumes For High Flow Loss

In a live division when there is a high flow loss (Loss_HF > 0) and the Muskingum x ≠ 1 (meaning that outflow and storage interact), owner storage volumes need to be adjusted for the high flow loss.  The steps are as follows:

1. Create a list of HighFlowOwners whose trial storage exceeds their share of the high flow threshold volume (Storage(o, t) > Storage_HFT(o) + Storage_dsMAX(o)), and another list of the remaining ExcludedOwners (that have Storage(o, t) ≤ Storage_HFT(o) + Storage_dsMAX(o)).

2. Find the modified high flow storage threshold that applies to HighFlowOwners:

3. Find the total storage and the total proportional flux volumes owned by the   (whose storage volume does not contribute to the high flow loss):
