Surcharged Node and the Link Connection in SWMM 5
Subject: Surcharged Node and the Link Connection in SWMM 5 A surcharged node in SWMM 5 uses this point iteration equation (Figure 1): dY/dt = dQ / The sum of the Connecting Link values of dQ/dH where Y is the depth in the node , dt is the time step, H is the head across the link (downstream – upstream), dQ is the net inflow into the node and dQ/dHis the derivative with respect to H of the link St Venant equation. If you are trying to calibrate the surcharged node depth, the main calibration variables are the time step and the link roughness: 1. Mannings's N 2. Hazen-Williams or 3. Darcy-Weisbach The link roughness is part of the term dq1 in the...
