“…Therefore, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods can be used to precisely model real tank behaviour [27]. The use of CFD methods in tank modelling is of great interest during the design phase as they provide detailed insight into momentum and mass transport in tanks, allowing for the determination of the best internal tank configurations to preserve WQ [28,29].…”

The analysis and simulation of water quality in distribution networks is a complex issue of great concern today. The analysis of the evolution of water age as a simple indicator of water quality in the network is of great interest in both the design and operation phases. Understanding the factors that have the strongest influence on water quality is key to developing adequate strategies aimed at preserving it. This paper first analyses the factors with the biggest influence on the tank’s water age to support the selection of the most appropriate configuration from the point of view of water quality during design phases. Then, the main considerations when modelling tanks following the different mixing models considered in Epanet are presented. Also, real tank behaviour is characterised through field measurements and Epanet simulations in order to determine the best-fitting mixing model.

“…There is no doubt that the circulation structure in the tanks is three‐dimensional and controlled by several factors. Such as, the inlet diameter or inlet orientation (Fard et al., 2021; Janzen & Freire, 2021; Machado Xavier et al., 2014; Raja et al., 2007), the water tank shapes (Stamou, 2008; Zhang et al., 2013, 2014). And even in a water tank, stratification and mixing are not negligible phenomena (Han et al., 2009; Kurşun & Ökten, 2018; Renmin et al., 2018).…”

As one of the essential resources for human life, water is of great significance to health. By selecting a high-quality water source, improving water treatment technology and optimizing the water supply pipe network, it can be ensured that the resulting raw water, outlet water and pipe network water can basically meet high-quality drinking water standards. However, to ensure that enough water is available for residents, many communities store water in water tanks and other facilities as secondary water supplies (Kim et al., 2017;Latifi et al., 2018). The quality of the original high-quality post-factory water decreases as the water age increases during transmission through the pipe network to the secondary water supply (
