CoUDlabs_WP8_T812_UDC_001. Identifying sediment deposits from temperature signals

Resumen

This dataset contains the results of the experimental campaign and how data were collected on the research activity “Identifying sediment deposits from temperature signals” performed under Joint Research Activity “JRA 3- Improving Resilience and Sustainability in Urban Drainage solutions” of Co-UDlabs project, funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101008626. The experiments introduce a new approach which uses high-resolution temperature data to identify sediment bed deposits by analysing time series. Water (wastewater or drainage water in UDS) and sediments show different thermal properties and heat transfer dynamics. Thus, the aim of the dataset is to estimate or at least evidenced the presence of sediments by analyzing the differences between the temperature timeseries measured in the water phase and at the bottom of bed deposits. Results from this experimental campaign will help to understand heat transfer processes between water and saturated sediment mixtures and, therefore, develop new methodologies to estimate accumulation in UDS. The data are described so that others can use them.
