The value of the total inflow in the text output file is the integrated total for the whole simulation including all time steps.   This is the total volume that is shown in Map Display for Nodes and Links or in the Summary Tables for Nodes and Links.   If you graph the flow or depths in Output Report Manager and use the FieldStatistics tool it will only show you the statistics for the SAVED time steps.  However, if you multiply the Sum (Total) Value by the saved interval in seconds you will have another estimate of the total node of link  statistic.  For example, a Sum Total of L/s times seconds yields liters which divided by 1,000 yields ML. 
Figure 2.  Map Display of  the  total link volume in the model run comes from the Node Inflow Summary Table in the Text Report File

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/
