2D stormwater modeling in Civil Storm and Sewergems

Question

Hi, 
 Are these two packages 2D modeling capable, and can you point us to the literature on that capability and the workflows for setting up the run to see what happens during flooding

Craig Calvin · Accepted Answer

Bentley recently acquired MOHID Studio, which can perform 2D simulations. We are actively looking into integrating that with SewerGEMS and CivilStorm. 
 See: 2D Modeling of Urban Flooding

I am not sure how the facilitator of this demo was able to accomplish this. Without more details I can only guess that the visualization was somehow linked to the node hydraulic grade along with the use of one of the surface storage methods. Or, perhaps they were using channels and cross section elements with irregular cross sections defined, also somehow mapped to the visualization aspect of the demo.

Thanks for your continued interest. We are hard at work on a solution so that you can perform a 2D simulation with your CivilStorm model, with help from our recently acquired technology. We expect to have an announcement about this in the next few weeks. If you have not done so already, please subscribe to our Blog to get an email alert for release announcements.

Hello AHQ. 
 
 Whether that will be a separate MOHID studio license or you can use one of your existing, this question cannot be answered at this moment. Since we are still looking into integrating it with SewerGEMS or CivilStorm and will publish our views about once we are with the outline of this integration. 
 You can visualize the surface storage option with the help of graph, to know the amount of overflow and its extent. 
 
 Depth (flooding) will give you the depth of overflow which will vary with the time or you can also graph for flow (overflow) over the time. 
 Or you can also color code these result fields to view in the plan view.
