How to use SWMM 5 DOS to make an Output Table in the RPT file

Subject:   How to use SWMM 5 DOS to make an Output Table in the RPT file

You can make tables of the node,  link  and  Subcatchment output data in SWMM 5 if you use the DOS SWMM 5 program but not the Windows DLL.   Step 1 is to create the DOS batch file, Step 2 is to select the nodes, links and subcatchments, Step 3 is to run the batch file and Step 4 is to view the RPT tables or extract the data to Excel.  You can do this directly in the InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM graphical user interfaces by using Run Manager, Step 5 to select the nodes, links and subcatchments and Step 6 to view the tables in the browser.

Step 1.   Make a Batch File to call the DOS SWMM 5

swmm5.exe Example1.inp  D:\swmm5.0.022\bob.rpt
pause

Step 2.  Add the nodes,  links and  subcatchments tables you want to generate in the RPT file

[REPORT]
CONTROLS         NO
LINKS                 ALL
NODES               ALL
SUBCATCHMENTS ALL

Step 3.  Run the Batch file

Step 4.  Extract the Tables from the RPT File of SWMM 5

Step 5.  InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM dialog for selecting nodes, links and subcatchments for generating a detailed RPT file table.


Step 6.  Sample InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM RPT Tables if Report Options is used.



InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM are different graphical  user interfaces with similar  tools to the current  version of SWMM 5.  They both use a C++ engine built around the C code engine of SWMM 5.  Most of these blogs apply to SWMM 5, InfoSWMM and H2OMAP SWMM.

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/
