\begin{abstract}
Management of sewer solids becomes an important research due to the
related hydraulic and environmental problems caused by sediment
deposition and flushing. Plenty of researches have been carried out
focus on water quality deterioration due to sediment erosion during rain
events in certain segment of sewer conduit, but hydraulic and quality
modelling of sewer network with consideration of sediment transport has
not gotten enough attention. So that in scale of sewer network, sediment
bed deformation and its impact to water quality caused by deposition and
flushing cannot be evaluated by modelling measures. This research aims
at sewer network hydraulic and quality simulation with consideration of
sediment transport and proposed a novel coupling process of SWMM5 and
sediment transport model (STM). With this coupling process, the sediment
load concentration and hydraulic cross section deformation of conduit in
the sewer network can be simulated. The proposed coupling model is
tested by two study cases. The simulation results showed that this
coupling model can give stable and logical simulation results. Sediment
flushing and deposition cycle and its impacts to load concentration and
hydraulic cross section deformation of conduits can be simulated.
Comparisons between simulation results and observed data showed that
with proposed coupling process load concentration simulation results fit
the observed data better than simulation results without coupling
process.%
