WAQTEL modelling of biochemical and thermal processes within water bodies in the natural environment. This component includes a complete model of heat exchange with the atmosphere. It includes processes related to the oxygen, algae, ammonia and phosphate cycles, as well as biomass and micro-pollutants processes in suspension or dissolved. WAQTEL is coupled with the 2 codes TELEMAC-2D and TELEMAC-3D. WAQTEL module was built from the processes implemented in TRACER and extended to 2D and 3D for most of the processes. A coupling to the AED2 library is also available for more advanced water quality simulations.
