The value of the total inflow in the text output file is the integrated total for the whole simulation including all time steps.   This is the total volume that is shown in Map Display for Nodes and Links or in the Summary Tables for Nodes and Links.   If you graph the flow or depths in Output Report Manager and use the FieldStatistics tool it will only show you the statistics for the SAVED time steps.  However, if you multiply the Sum (Total) Value by the saved interval in seconds you will have another estimate of the total node of link  statistic.  For example, a Sum Total of L/s times seconds yields liters which divided by 1,000 yields ML. 
Figure 2.  Map Display of  the  total link volume in the model run comes from the Node Inflow Summary Table in the Text Report File

Soffit Level

Image
Soffit Level
(pipe technology)The top point of the inside open section of a pipe or box conduit.
The soffit is the highest point of the internal surface of a pipe or culvert at any cross-section. The soffit is also referred to as the pipe obvert.
So it is not quite the Crown of the Pipe.  Here is an image I found that hopefully explains it better.

Water Analogies for Divergence, Curl and Gradient

Comment: A really nice water analogy for the field properties Divergence, Curl and Gradient from the Blog Starts With a Bang

....it's pretty mathematically intensive, but what's missing from most textbooks and E&M courses are physical explanations of what the mathematics means. For instance, I've started teaching about fields, and pretty much every textbook out there goes on and on about the properties of fields. They say you can do three things to fields, take the gradient, divergence, orcurl of them. (Are you asleep yet? I'm sorry!) What do these things mean? An easy way to picture it is in terms of water. If you placed a drop of water anywhere on, say,Earth, the magnitude and direction of how it rolls down is the gradient of the Earth's elevation. If you let that drop of water flow, as it goes downhill, it can either spread out or converge to a narrower stream. When we quantify that, that's what the divergence of the field is. And finally, when that water is …
