How Dry Weather Flow is Used in InfoSWMM at a Node

Note:   How Dry Weather Flow is Used in InfoSWMM at a Node
 There are four components to the Dry Weather Flow (DWF) in InfoSWMM:
 1.       The mean flow in user units at the node,
2.      The DWF Allocation Code – if you are using the DWF Allocator
3.      The Pattern for Weekday, Weekend etc for the mean flow.
 The data is entered or entered for you in the Node Inflow Icon or the Operations Tab of the Attribute Browser 
Node Inflow Icon and Associated Data
 Operation Tab Patterns
 You can also make global changes to your DWF using the Node DWF DB Table Under Extended Element Modeling Data

Orifice and Weir flow calculations

Note: Orifice and Weir Flow Computations The orifice flow calculation proceeds as follows: 1. Initially and whenever the setting (i.e., the fraction opened) changes, flow coefficients for both orifice and weir behavior are computed as follows: a. For side orifices: Define Hcrit = h/2 where h is the opening height. b. For bottom orifices: i. For a circular orifice, compute area over length (i.e., circumference) as AL = h /4. ii. For a rectangular orifice compute AL = h*w/(2*(h+w)) where w is the opening width. iii. Compute Hcrit = Cd*AL/0.414 where Cd is the orifice discharge coefficient. At step 1b, the critical head for the bottom orifice, where orifice flow turns into weir flow, is found by equating the result of the orifice equation to that of the weir equation Cd*Area*sqrt(2g)*sqrt(Hcrit) = Cw*Length*sqrt(Hcrit)*Hcrit or Hcrit = (Cd * Area) / (Cw/sqrt(2g) * Length) The value of Cw/sqrt(2g) for a sharp crested weir is 0.414.

EMC Washoff in SWMM5

Image
There are four steps to using EMC concentrations in your network: 1. Define your pollutant by adding a pollutant using the Data=>Quality=>Pollutant command : 2. Define the Land Use by using the Data=>Land Uses command or the Land Use Editor: 3. Define Buildup to be None by clicking on the None Tab: 4. Define the EMC Washoff concentration by clicking on the Washoff Tab: This is where you would add a GW concentration More: http://www.swmm2000.com/
