While recently organizing my garage, I discovered an intriguing poster I'd created comparing the 1D St Venant Terms between SWMM4 and SWMM5. Originally crafted in Microsoft Publisher for the 2007 Urban Runoff Modeling Conference at Humboldt State University, this poster presented a compelling analysis of hydraulic solutions. Though the original … Read the rest
This Ruby script is designed for use within InfoWorks ICM to associate subcatchments with the nearest node with the lowest ground level among five nodes. It performs several tasks to facilitate this connection between subcatchments and nodes in … Read the rest
To compare and contrast the Horton and Green-Ampt models for estimating soil infiltration, we need to understand the key aspects of each model, focusing on their application in sandy loam soil. Both models are used in hydrology to estimate the rate at … Read the rest
> Inlets in ICM InfoWorks and the Impact of Base Flow
The flow into a curb opening inlet is determined by multiplying the efficiency of the inlet by the upstream (u/s) flow in the channel connected to it. This means that the inlet captures a portion of the water flowing … Read the rest
