How to Make a Break Node in SWMM5 and InfoSWMM for Force Mains with Emojis

🔍 The central issue being highlighted is ensuring Force Mains are kept full (or d/D equal to 1) when the pumps activate. Achieving this in SWMM 5 can be a challenge due to its single Q link solution, compared to the 4 or more flow points in the IWCS solution. 🔄 There have been past suggestions to add a break node at the end of force mains to ensure they remain full. However, this doesn't always work, especially when a gravity main exists at the end of the rising force main. The gravity main instantly takes up the flow from the long force main, keeping the downstream node depth minimal, which results in the force main not being fully filled – leading to customer dissatisfaction. 😤 A potential solution is to amplify the gravity main roughness, simulating the transition from the force main to the gravity main, which keeps the depth elevated and the force main filled most of the time.

📝 Here are the eight suggestions:

1. ⚙️ Use a Flap Gate for the rising main with HW Force Main Coefficients.
2. 🔧 Add a Break Node at the end of your longer Force Mains with a Surcharge Depth using the Insert Manhole Tool.
3. ⛓️ The d/D values for the force main usually being less than 1 is due to the downstream node of the Force Main having a low depth. Adding a Break Node ensures it remains fuller.
4. 🌊 Change the link AFTER the Break Node to a Gravity Main, and increase the roughness n value (2 to 3 times rougher) to simulate the transition losses.
5. 📈 This action will boost the node's depth at the Force Main's downstream end, ensuring it remains full most of the time.
6. 📊 As highlighted, the force main link has a single Q and three depths. The d in the d/D graph is derived from the midpoint depth or the average of the link's upstream and downstream depths.
7. 🚰 In model reality, the force main is always full at the link's upstream end but is affected by the low downstream depth.
8. 🌟 Increasing the roughness in the gravity main makes results align more closely with user expectations for the d/D value, offering a realistic representation.

🌩️ Use a Flap Gate for the rising main with HW Force Main Coefficients.
🌩️ Introduce a Break Node at the end of longer Force Mains with a Surcharge Depth using the Insert Manhole Tool.
🌩️ The typical d/D values for the force main are less than 1 due to the downstream node's low depth. Adding a Break Node ensures it remains fuller.
🌩️ Post the Break Node, change the link to a Gravity Main. Increase the roughness n value for a realistic transition.
🌩️ This ensures the node's depth at the Force Main's downstream end remains high.
🌩️ The force main link has one Q and three depths, with the d in the d/D graph derived from the midpoint depth.
🌩️ In model reality, the force main remains full at the link's upstream end.
🌩️ Increasing the gravity main's roughness offers results that align closely with user expectations and offer a touch of reality.

Innovyze Unveils InfoSWMM Sustain for Comprehensive Urban Stormwater Treatment and Analysis

New Software Lets Stormwater Management Professionals Determine Optimal BMP Combinations at Various Watershed Scales Based on Cost and Effectiveness

Broomfield, Colorado, USA, January 6, 2014 — Innovyze, a leading global innovator of business analytics software and technologies for smart wet infrastructure, today announced the second quarter 2015 release ofInfoSWMM Sustain. Designed in response to the needs of watershed and stormwater engineering professionals, this power tool lets users develop, evaluate, and select optimal best management practice (BMP) combinations at various watershed scales on the basis of cost and effectiveness. InfoSWMM Sustain is a comprehensive geocentric decision support system created to facilitate optimal selection and placement of BMPs and low impact development (LID) techniques at strategic locations in urban watersheds. It can accurately model any combination of LID controls, such as porous permeable pavement, rain gardens, green roofs, street planters, rain barrels, infiltration trenches, and vegetative swales, to determine their effectiveness in managing stormwater and combined sewer overflows. Such capabilities can greatly assist users in developing cost-effective and reliable implementation plans for flow and pollution control aimed at protecting source waters and meeting water quality goals. It does so by helping users answer the following questions: How effective are BMPs in reducing runoff and pollutant loadings? What are the most cost-effective solutions for meeting water quality and quantity objectives? And where, what type, and how extensive should BMPs be? By seamlessly integrating ArcGIS 10.x with SWMM 5.1, InfoSWMM Sustain greatly expands on the USEPA SUSTAIN software to provide critically needed support to watershed practitioners at all levels in developing stormwater management evaluations and cost optimizations to meet their program needs. The software can automatically import any SWMM5.1, InfoSWMM or InfoWorks ICM model, then evaluate numerous potential combinations of BMPs to determine the optimal combination to meet specified objectives such as runoff volume or pollutant loading reductions. Both kinematic wave and full dynamic wave flow routing models are fully supported. Among its many vital applications, InfoSWMM Sustain can be effectively used in developing TMDL implementation plans, identifying management practices to achieve pollutant reductions under a separate municipal storm sewer system (MS4) stormwater permit, determining optimal green infrastructure strategies for reducing volume and peak flows to combined sewer systems, evaluating the benefits of distributed green infrastructure implementation on water quantity and quality in urban streams, and developing a phased BMP installation plan using cost effectiveness curves. “With InfoSWMM Sustain, we are extending our success in the smart network modeling marketplace to address the specific needs of stormwater management professionals and their engineering consultants,” said Paul F. Boulos, Ph.D., BCEEM, NAE, Hon.D.WRE, Dist.D.NE, F.ASCE, President, COO and Chief Technical Officer of Innovyze. “It performs sophisticated hydrologic and water quality modeling in watersheds and urban streams, and enables users to determine optimal management solutions at multiple-scale watersheds to achieve desired water quality objectives based on cost effectiveness. It also gives users the power tool they need to maximize water quality benefits, minimize stormwater management costs and combined sewer overflows, and protect the environment and public health.”

Overflow in InfoSewer

"Discover the unique water retention capabilities in InfoSewer 💧🛠️:

• Unlike InfoSWMM, InfoWorks ICM, and InfoWorks CS, InfoSewer maintains its composure under pressure. During Extended Period Simulations (EPS), even when the Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL) kisses the Rim Elevation, no water escapes the chamber and loading manholes. 💦🚫

• However, keep a watchful eye on those Wet Wells! They will release water once filled to the brim. 🌊🕳️

• One critical output parameter to monitor is 'Overflow'. Here's a quick guide:

  • Overflow Equation: Overflow = Flow in Link - Q full for the Link
  • Understanding Overflow:
    • A negative Overflow value signals an unfulfilled pipe; it's not at full capacity based on q/Qfull. 📉
    • A positive Overflow indicates a full house; the pipe has reached its max. 📈
  • Measuring Units: Overflow's units align with the units of Flow in InfoSewer.

Stay in control of your network's flow dynamics with InfoSewer's precision in water management 🔍💡."
