Manhole Elevations in InfoSWMM and SWMM 5
Manhole Elevations in InfoSWMM and SWMM 5 Subject: Manhole Elevations in InfoSWMM and SWMM 5 Starting from the bottom of the manhole you have these regions of computational interest: 1. Manhole Invert to the lowest link invert – the node continuity equation is used with the area of the manhole being the default surface area of a manhole, 2. Lowest Link Invert to the Highest Link Crown Elevation – the node continuity equation is used with surface of the node being normally half of the surface area of the incoming and outgoing links, 3. Highest Manhole Pipe Crown Elevation to Manhole Rim Elevation – the node surcharge algorithm in which the surface area of the manhole is not used and the surcharge depth is iterated until the inflow and the outflows of the node are in balance, 4. The region above the Manhole Rim Elevation which can use one of four options to calculate the depth and/or flow out of or into the manhole:...
