Node Comparison in InfoSWMM and InfoSewer

Node Comparison in InfoSWMM and InfoSewer by  dickinsonre Note:    Node   Comparison  in  Info SWMM  and  InfoSewer   1)    Is there an option to set the manhole sealing method (i.e. locked  or unlocked) in  InfoSWMM ?  You set the Surcharged depth to a positive value to prevent flooding and keep the pipes under pressure.  You will still have flooding once the water surface elevation reaches the maximum depth + surcharge depth.  Unlike in InfoSewer  the depths are not unlimited.   2)       Is defining manhole diameter in   InfoSWMM   available?     You can set the default surface area of a   node   or make it a storage node .       3)       Does   InfoSWMM   allow me to create parallel pipes with the same   attributes similar to  InfoSewer ?  You can set t...

Qfull in SWMM 5 for various levels of y/yFull in a Circular Pipe

Image
Subject:  Qfull in SWMM 5 for various levels of y/yFull in a Circular Pipe Here is a table that shows the value of Q/Qfull for various levels of y/yFull or d/D in SWMM5.  The full flow if you loop off the top of a circular pipe at the 0.83 level would be about 1.01 times Qfull for the whole pipe.  Figure 1 shows how the flows are calculated at various values, Table 1 and Figure 2 show the values of a/aFull, r/rFull and q/qFull for various values of y/yFull. Figure 1 .   How Qfull and Qmax are calculated in  SWMM 5 based on the roughness, slope and a lookup table for area and hydraulic radius for a circular pipe. y/yFull a/aFull r/rFull Q/qFull 0.00000 0.00000 0.01000 0.00000 0.02000 0.00471 0.05280 0.00066 0.04000 0.01340 0.10480 0.00298 0.06000 0.02445 0.15560 0.00707 0.08000 0.03740 0.20520 0.01301 0.10000 0.05208 0.25400 0.02089 0.12000 0.06800 0.30160 0.03058 0.14000 0.08505 0.34840 0.04211 0.16000 0.10330 0.39440 0.05556 0.18000 0.12236 0.43880 0.07...
