SWMM5 Model
The SWMM5 project summary includes the following components: 1 raingage, 168 subcatchments, no aquifers, snowpacks, or RDM hydrographs. The infiltration model used is Horton. There are five junction nodes, six outfall nodes, and no divider nodes. The project features one storage node (1S0), 134 conduit links, and five … Read the rest
Maintain the Force Mains at full capacity with a diameter-depth ratio (d/D) of 1 when the pumps turn On
A challenging issue in modeling and managing sewer force mains using the SWMM 5 system. The crux of the problem is maintaining the force main at full capacity with a diameter-depth ratio (d/D) of 1 when the pumps turn on.
The SWMM 5 system uses one flow point in the … Read the rest
How to Use Tracer Water Quality for RDII, DWF, and Runoff in an InfoWorks ICM Network – Use SWMM5 Washoff
The integration of ICM SWMM into the ICM platform has brought with it the inclusion of the SWMM5 Buildup Washoff feature. This allows users to analyze the impact of tracer concentrations on a 1D network, specifically in determining the percentage contribution of real-time kinematic (RTK) urban hydrology or runoff to … Read the rest
