Refactoring the SWMM 5 Help File – RDII in SWMM5

RDII in SWMM5

Unit Hydrographs (UHs) estimate rainfall-dependent inflow/infiltration (RDII) into a sewer system. A UH set contains up to three such hydrographs, one for a short-term response, one for an intermediate-term response, and one for a long-term response. A UH group can have up to 12 UH sets, Read the rest

Refactoring the SWMM 5 Help File – SWMM5 Introduction

Introducing EPA SWMM5

The EPA Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) is a dynamic rainfall-runoff simulation model used for single event or long-term (continuous) simulation of runoff quantity and quality from primarily urban areas. The runoff component of SWMM operates on a collection of subcatchment areas that receive precipitation and generate … Read the rest

Refactoring the SWMM 5 Help File – Snowmelt in SWMM5

Snowmelt in SWMM5

Snowmelt

Snowmelt parameters are climatic variables that apply across the entire study area when simulating snowfall and snowmelt. They include:

· the air temperature at which precipitation falls as snow
· heat exchange properties of the snow surface
· study area elevation, latitude, and longitude correction.

Refactoring the SWMM 5 Help File - Routing in SWMM5

Flow routing within a conduit link in SWMM is governed by the conservation of mass and momentum equations for gradually varied, unsteady flow (i.e., the Saint Venant flow equations). The SWMM user has a choice on the level of sophistication Read the rest
