Subcritical and Supercritical flow in SewerGEMS

Good morning,

I simulated a sewer system in SewerGEMS with the calculation options Covex, Dynamic wave and SWMM Solvers. In the simulation with the Dynamic Wave option, it notifies me that I have a froude number greater than 1, what does that mean?
Another doubt that I have is that with the Dynamic Wave option the flow rate through the outfall is 18.27 l / s but in the Convex and SWMM Solvers options the flow that comes out is 18 l / s. Why this difference in flow? .I attach the model in SewerGEMS to be reviewed.

  • Hello Alexander,

    The depth/rise varies from solver to solver.

    For Implicit Solver - depth/rise is active depth in the middle of the conduit or channel by rise.

    For GVF-Convex and GVF-Rational Solver - depth/rise is the average depth in the link by rise.

    For Explicit (SWMM) Solver - depth/rise is depth calculated by Explicit engine by rise.

    You can find the differences in the different solvers and how they operate from the links provided in the earlier response,

    Hope this helps.


    Regards,
