High and Low Estimates of ICM Subcatchment Dimension for SWMM Hydrology

 

These are the estimates for both SWMM 5, InfoSWMM and ICM SWMM Hydrology, the low estimate is 0.2*SQRT(Area in Feet) and the High Estimate is 5*SQRT(Area in Feet), Figure 1.  You can use higher or lower numbers to calibrate Read the rest

How do V-notch weirs work in SWMM 5?

 

Hi Keith, As you change the Length which is actually the Top Width you change the area and hydraulic radius of the Weir. 

 

The height of a V-Notch weir is the Height Value in the SWMM 5 Weir Property Dialog (Figure 1) Read the rest

How to Import Subcatchments from GIS into InfoSWMM


Step 1:  Add your shapefile using  the Add Data command.

Step 2:  Your imported shape file has no subcatchment data before we initialize the project.

Step 3:  Add your subcatchment data using the GIS Exchange Cluster Import

Step 4:  Now you have

How are Flooded Time, Surcharged Time and Flooded Volume Calculated in InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM?

 

The timevolume and flooded rate shown in the InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM Report File Node Flooding Summary (Figure 2) are calculated as follows (Figure 1):

 

For All Nodes NOT Outfalls ( this includes Read the rest

This is how InfoSewer can use a time series of inflow at a specific node:

 

1.       Use a mean loading of 1 so that the values in the Inflow Time Series stay the same as your inflow units in InfoSewer (Figure 1)

How to Use the Map Display for the Maximum Adjusted d/D  or Maximum q/Q in an EPS InfoSewer Simulation

 

You can do a Map Display of the adjusted d/D values (Figure 1)  from the Gravity Main Range Report (Figure 2) to show those pipes Read the rest

InfoSewer Flow Attenuation Sensitivity 

 

The three Run manager parameters, Maximum Number of Segments, Minimum Travel Distance and the Minimum Travel Distance in InfoSewer and H2OMAP Sewer affect the shape and flow attenuation of the flow in a link.  The effect of using the flow attenuation is to reduce the peak Read the rest

InfoSWMM 2D Report Variables

 

The Junction Graph variables for 2D Depth, 2D Speed, 2D Froude Number, 2D Unit Flow, 2D Inflow, 2D Volume and 2D Angle for a InfoSWMM 2D simulation for up to 1000 years can be plotted in the Report Manager of InfoSWMM.  This is an image Read the rest
