Changes in climate were a growing concern during the last decade and will be even greater in the coming years. When investigating the impact from changes in the climate on urban drainage systems, two challenges are (1) what type of input rainfall data to use and (2) what parameters to use to measure the impacts. The overall objective of this study is to investigate the hydraulic performance of urban drainage systems related to changes in rainfall, and through these hydraulic parameters describe the impact of climate change. Input rainfall data represent today’s climate and three future time periods (2011–2040, 2041–2070, and 2071–2100). The hydraulic parameters used were water levels in nodes (e.g., as the number of floods, and frequency and duration of floods) and pipe flow ratio. For the study area, the number of flooded nodes and the geographical distribution of floods will increase in the future, as will both the flooding frequency and the duration of floods.
SUePDFis a graphical user interface program written in MATLAB to achieve quantitative pair distribution functions (PDFs) from electron diffraction data. The program facilitates structural studies of amorphous materials and small nanoparticles using electron diffraction data from transmission electron microscopes. It is based on the physics of electron scattering as well as the total scattering methodology. A method of background modeling is introduced to treat the intensity tail of the direct beam, inelastic scattering and incoherent multiple scattering. Kinematical electron scattering intensity is scaled using the electron scattering factors. The PDFs obtained after Fourier transforms are normalized with respect to number density, nanoparticle form factor and the non-negativity of probability density.SUePDFis distributed as free software for academic users.
