What we are trying to simulate is the storage volume in our network at ADWF flows after a pump failure into our WWTP.
So how long before we overflow at the lowest manhole elevation, and from that point, how much storage volume do we have on top of normal flows at ADWF.
We are using the Sewergems implicit engine, is this the best option?
Thanks
Hello Stephen,
Here is the article which explains the differences between the solvers.

The Implicit or Explicit solvers are best for analyzing problematic systems or flooding since they use dynamic numerical solvers that can calculate overflow rate and several other things.
You also could use hydraulic reviewer tool to see the overflow in the wet well, which is available with Implicit and explicit solvers. Analysis>Hydraulic Reviewer. .
