InfoSWMM and InfoSWMM SA offers an advanced RTC rule that could be used to effectively simulate the operation of pumps and flow regulating structures such as weirs, orifices, and outlets. Unlike Simple Controls, RTC rules allow for the creation … Read the rest
Control Rules in SWMM5 and InfoSWMM
Operational control rules determine how pumps and flow regulating structures (i.e., orifice and weir) in the conveyance system will be adjusted over the course of a simulation. InfoSWMM and InfoSWMM SA has the following three control classes.
· Initial Status – The initial status … Read the rest
Inertia of Pumps and Motors
The combined inertia of pumps and motors driving them, including the connecting shafts and couplings, is required for transient analysis associated with the starting and stopping of pumps. The equations provided below are intended to be used as an initial guide to the inertia values … Read the rest
Setting Controls For The Pumps and Orifices for the SWMM5 Engine in InfoSWMM and InfoSWMM SA
Using InfoSWMM H2OMap SWMM InfoSWMM SA , you may control the operational status of pumps and flow regulating structures by specifying their initial status, using the simple control rule, or using the RTC rule … Read the rest
InfoSewer/Pro conceptualizes a sewer collection network as a collection of links connected together at their endpoints, called nodes. The nodes represent manholes, wet-wells, and outlets while the links represent pipes and pumps. The sewer system can be of any topological configuration and can contain multiple loops and outlets.… Read the rest
In the past few years, advances in infrastructure management technology have been occurring at an accelerated pace. This technology is now being realized within the context of sanitary and storm sewer modeling. It has allowed sewer collection system modeling … Read the rest
Pumps in InfoSewer and H20Map Sewer
A pump is a link that imparts energy to a fluid thereby raising its hydraulic head. Pumps are needed in a gravity sewer system to prevent deep excavations, and are designed to lift the fluid to a desired level that produces gravity flow condition … Read the rest
Subject: SWMM 5 Clocktime RTC Rules for Pumps, Weirs and Orifices
You can use the Control or RTC rules in SWMM 5 to adjust the settings of the weirs, pumps and orifices based on the clock time each day of your simulation. Here is an example that will … Read the rest
