🔰The Two-Pass InfoSewer Solution method refines the estimation of flow within sewer networks by employing a dual-stage analysis. Initially, in the first pass, the system calculates the loads at each manhole and subsequently deduces the flow in the connecting links. This initial flow estimation is utilized to determine the preliminary depth-to-diameter ratio (d/D), the values of which you are presently mapping.
🔰Subsequently, the second pass of the solution process takes place. This stage is critical as it accounts for complex hydraulic phenomena, including backwater effects, surcharge conditions, and pressurized flow. It is during this phase that the depth-to-diameter ratio is adjusted, often resulting in an increased d/D value compared to the initial pass. This adjusted d/D is depicted in the Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL) plot.
🔰Utilizing the adjusted d/D from the second pass provides a more accurate indication of pipeline capacity and performance, particularly identifying pipes operating at or above 75% fullness. This metric is essential for effective sewer system management, offering a clearer insight into the potential for overflow and the need for infrastructural intervention.

Benoit Mandelbrot, the brilliant Polish-French-American mathematician who died in 2010, had a poet’s taste for complexity and strangeness. His genius for noticing deep links among far-flung phenomena led him to create a new branch of geometry, one that has deepened our understanding of both natural forms and patterns of human behavior. The key to it is a simple yet elusive idea, that of self-similarity.
To see what self-similarity means, consider a homely example: the cauliflower. Take a head of this vegetable and observe its form—the way it is composed of florets. Pull off one of those florets. What does it look like? It looks like a little head of cauliflower, with its own subflorets. Now pull off one of those subflorets. What does that look like? A still tinier cauliflower. If you continue this process—and you may soon need a magnifying glass—you’ll find that the smaller and smaller pieces all resemble the head you started with. The cauliflower is thus said to be self-similar. Each of its parts echoes the whole.
Other self-similar phenomena, each with its distinctive form, include clouds, coastlines, bolts of lightning, clusters of galaxies, the network of blood vessels in our bodies, and, quite possibly, the pattern of ups and downs in financial markets. The closer you look at a coastline, the more you find it is jagged, not smooth, and each jagged segment contains smaller, similarly jagged segments that can be described by Mandelbrot’s methods. Because of the essential roughness of self-similar forms, classical mathematics is ill-equipped to deal with them. Its methods, from the Greeks on down to the last century, have been better suited to smooth forms, like circles. (Note that a circle is not self-similar: if you cut it up into smaller and smaller segments, those segments become nearly straight.)
Only in the last few decades has a mathematics of roughness emerged, one that can get a grip on self-similarity and kindred matters like turbulence, noise, clustering, and chaos. And Mandelbrot was the prime mover behind it.
