Release of SWMM 5.1.005 

-------------------------
Build 5.1.005 (4/23/2014)
-------------------------

Engine Updates:

1.  A problem with reading hydraulic results from a hot start
    file was fixed.

GUI Updates:

1.  The appearance of the Open File Dialog with preview panel
    was improved.

2.  In the property Editor for storage nodes, the Ponded Area
    property was made read-only since storage nodes are not
    allowed to pond water.

3.  Some issues with pop-up topic windows in the Help file
    being obscured by the main Help window were fixed.

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.    ...
