Simulation Task Manager in InfoSWMM and H2OMap SWMM

Several factors can effect the processing time needed to run simulations of sewer networks including computer hardware, simulation timestep, reporting timestep, size of the network, length of simulation, sophistication of the simulation (e.g. controls, 2D) etc. Even though our products utilize the most robust solution engines possible, simulations can take a while to complete. Simulation Task Manager allows you to disconnect the simulation of modeling scenarios from other modeling work so that you can be more productive while simulations are running.

Simulation Task Manager allows you to:
  1. Start, pause and delete scheduled simulations 
  2. View summary and detailed information about each scheduled simulation 
  3. Continue to process simulation tasks without the model open that scheduled the simulation
Using Simulation Task Manager will greatly enhance your ability to be productive when working with simulations that take a long time to complete. This technical advancement once again shows the dedication of Innovyze(R) Inc. to providing the best and most advanced tools possible to modeling professionals.

Please note: This help file applies to both InfoSWMM and H2OMap SWMM which share the same underlying engine and graphics.

lnnovyze lnfoSWMM® is an Esri ArcMap Extension and H20MAP SWMM® is a standalone program, both of which use the same USEPA SWMM5 engine. They also work from a set of Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) that reside in the Windows Program Files folder. As a common method to process files, the DLL'S work with various Graphic User Interface(GUI) components so several applications may utilize the same functionality. Therefore, while the GUls for lnfoSWMM and H20MAP SWMM are different, both programs use the same Database drivers and Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) to produce results. This ensures you receive identical output across lnfoSWMM and H20MAP SWMM because the underlying Database, Computational Engine and Results DLL program files are identical.

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/
