Can you enter a known water age time increase through a tank to be used with overall age calculations? I.E. the time it takes water to go through a specific ground storage tank is known from CFD modeling for a specific flowrate. Can this value be directly entered into WaterGEMS to be used for age calculations? The model would calculate the water age entering the tank and simply add the entered time value to this to develop the age out of the tank.

Trevor, you may want to approximate the behavior you want by setting the Tank Mixing Model to FIFO (First In First Out)
To add to Tom's reply - you could set up scenarios to compare results using the different tank mixing types and see which one gives results that are closest to what you expect. More on the tank mixing models can be found in this wiki article.
