Orifice Open and Close Speed and the Target Setting

Image
Orifice   Open  and  Close   Speed  and the  Target   Setting In SWMM 5 there is an  orifice  parameter called  setting  which opens or closes the  orifice  opening by modifying the depth of the  orifice .  The  setting  is  based either on a RTC rule of the  orifice  or the Flap Gate condition of the  orifice  and can be between 0 and 1.  Closed  is 0;  Open  is 1.   The difference is that the  target   setting  is what the  setting  should be based on the condition of the Flap Gate or the RTC Rules and the  setting  is the value actually used in the model.  The  open  and  close   speed  of the  orifice  modifies the  orifice   setting  by changing the  orifice   setting  based on the  open  and closing  speed  using the equation...
