Registration and Call for Papers Announced for Innovyze European User Conference 2012 
Key Industry Event for European Modeling Professionals Confirmed for September 19-20, 2012.
More information and registration at www.watermodeling.com
Broomfield, Colorado USA, May 22, 2012 — Innovyze, a leading global innovator of wet infrastructure modeling and simulation software and technologies, today announced the opening of registration and call for papers for the Innovyze European User Conference 2012. The premier event for the digital utility and smart water modeling community will be held September 19-20, 2012, at the Hilton Metropole, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
This once-a-year learning opportunity for Innovyze’s European users will feature powerful technical presentations showcasing projects from throughout the region, along with keynote addresses from industry leaders and captains of the smart water modeling industry. Sponsorship packages are available and committed sponsors already include Applied Computing, Clear Environmental Consultants, EnginSoft UK, Hydro International, Onsite, Primayer, and Richard Allitt Associates.
This year’s conference consists of three overlapping tracks, with Drainage and Flooding across both days of the conference, and Water Supply and Asset Management each with a dedicated day. All delegates, regardless of track, are invited to attend the conference dinner, a key networking opportunity held at the end of the first day of the event. More details on the agenda are available at www.watermodeling.com.
The interactive forum will provide valuable industry insights and an opportunity to exchange cutting-edge information, thought-leadership skills, proven strategies, cost-effective solutions and best practices with water and wastewater industry movers and shakers. It will also allow water and wastewater professionals to explore new ways of using engineering-GIS technology as well as advanced analytics and smart water modeling, asset management and information management applications. Participants will learn how they can leverage these tools to do their jobs better, easier, faster and more efficiently; maximize their return on software investments; and make their organizations more globally competitive.
Andrew Brown, Innovyze Director of International Operations, noted, “The conference is a fantastic opportunity for Innovyze software users from the region to gather together. Attendees will learn about new product features, get ‘tips and tricks’ for optimum software use, and hear about practical applications of Innovyze products from other users.”
To complement the presenters and speakers already confirmed, the organizing committee is seeking relevant presentations. Interested speakers can visit http://www.watermodeling.com/ for submission details. Topics for consideration include:

Drainage and Flooding


  • Flood & Water Management Act
  • Surface water management plans (SWMPs)
  • The Water Framework Directive
  • The short and long term needs in the drainage and flooding sector
  • The challenges for urban drainage practitioners in AMP5
  • Public sector responsibility of implementing and delivering SWMPs
  • Flooding and unauthorized intermittent discharges (UIDs)
  • Catchment growth, changing weather patterns and emerging legislation
  • Integrated solutions including integrated catchment management and water cycle planning
  • Population growth, planning and development

Water Supply

  • Reducing a network’s carbon footprint
  • Using transient analysis for optimum system design and protection
  • Developing, calibrating and validating water quality models
  • Efficiently operating and managing water distribution systems
  • Optimizing capital improvement programs
  • Using network modeling for regulatory compliance
  • Pressure and leakage management

Asset Management

  • Capital Planning
  • Operational Planning
  • Transfer of Work Orders to Contractors
  • Floods and Water Management Act – Asset mapping and maintenance.
  • Data Management
  • Reporting and Annual Data Submission





“This unique event gives our European users an exceptional forum for exploring the state of the art in smart water and wastewater infrastructure engineering and management, and for sharing best practices in solving everyday challenges and problems,” said Brown. “Attendees can transfer this valuable learning experience directly back to their day-to-day projects, opening new and innovative avenues for improving the world’s wet infrastructure.”

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/
