47th Annual International Conference
Toronto, Canada
February 26-27, 2014

Call for papers

Have you implemented a good idea recently? Do you have hard facts and figures?
If so, you should consider presenting at this conference. Your audience will be large (>100) and comprise equally active and thoughtful professionals.

The annual International Conference on Stormwater and Urban Water Systems Modeling is a forum for professionals from across North America and overseas to exchange ideas and experience on current practices and emerging technologies. This is the 47th annual SWMM Users Group Meeting, the 23rd in the current series of annual Toronto conferences, and the 34th to be held in Canada. The atmosphere is relaxed, presentations are of a high standard and by accepting papers up to the last few weeks before the event, a spontaneity is achieved which gives this conference special character.

Who will be attending?

·         Civil Engineers
·         Environmental Engineers
·         Consultants
·         Instructors and Researchers from universities and research institutions
·         Municipal and Government Engineering professionals
·         Public Works personnel
·         Policy Makers
·         Fluvial Geomorphologists
·         Urban Geographers
·         Aquatic Biologists
·         Ecologists
·         Landscape Engineers and Architects
·         Other scientists and engineers

Suggested topics:

·         2D Modeling
·         LIDs, BMPs, TMDLs and Wetlands
·         Urban water system modeling
·         GIS, FM/AM and CAD systems
·         Decision analysis systems
·         Bio-computing (genetic algorithms and neural networks)
·         Using computer models to resolve real pollution problems / eco-restoration
·         Surface water quality modeling
·         Modeling impacts on aquatic systems / habitats
·         Stormwater / pollution management modeling
·         Urban drainage system design and analysis
·         Field data monitoring and instrumentation
·         Climate change and system security
·         Policy, legislation, permitting and enforcement

Submitting a Paper:

·         Notices of intent to submit a paper are invited immediately
·         One-page abstracts are due as soon as possible (must include title) and at the latest byFebruary 3rd, 2014
·         The final paper is due at the conference
Notices of intent to submit an abstract should include a title or topic that you wish to cover, a brief outline if possible, and the names and contact information of the authors involved.
For more information about submitting papers, please visit the Author information page and Paper formatting instructions. Abstract acceptance will be intimated promptly, and format requirements emailed to the authors.
If you have any questions about abstract submittal, please email or phone 519-767-0197.

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/
