Reach Optimization Total Dissolved Gas
This category is only available if Propagate TDG method is selected for the Reach Water Quality category. It contains two methods, the default no-action None method and the Propagate TDG Deltas.
NoneThis is the default no-action method.
Propagate TDG DeltasThis is the optimization component of TDG modeling. See also the simulation model described above. This method instantiates the slots and then sets up the data necessary for the Optimization problem. The defining constraints are also described below.

Method Details
For the this method, the deltas and concentrations must also be routed. A constraint is added to define the outflows as a lag from the inflow, for both delta concentration, delta flows and concentrations.
Note: Flows and TDG deltas are lagged by separate slots which may or may not contain the same lag value.
(13.1) 
(13.2) 
(13.3) 
This method is also available when No Routing is used. In that case, the lag is assumed to be zero (and is not shown) and outflow values equal inflow values. See Optimization Total Dissolved Gas for more information on the optimization solution for TDG on the Reservoir.
