Hi,
I am working on a WaterGEMS model and do not have things set up correctly to model the scenario that I would like to see.
The model looks like the above image and the setup that I need to run should be fairly simple in my opinion, but I do not have it set up correctly currently. I will also attach the WaterGEMS model if anyone is able to make changes or edits and send back to me with your suggestions.
1) The tanks, pipes, and junctions are all located where they should be. Pipe and Junction information is accurate. I don't think I have my tanks set up correctly.
2) I need to determine what water surface elevation in the tanks will produce a flow of 9,600gpm at J-5 (each tank has a peak flow of 2,400gpm so the total at J-5 is 9,600gpm).
3) J-5 can essentially discharge into the atmosphere (or another tank if the model needs it). I just need to be able to generate 9,600 gpm using only the head available in the tanks. The tanks must all have the same water surface elevation and they are 26'x13'. The maximum water surface elevation in each tank is 5.22'. I currently have everything based off an elevation of 100' so max tank elevation is 105.22'.
I'm just not sure where to go from here. Do I need to somehow apply an inflow to each tank of 2,400gpm and run that through the system to see how much the tank fills up? Also not sure if I should be using the Steady State or EPS? The piping for this model is all flat and after J-5 it can be assumed that we essentially discharge into the atmosphere (or a very large tank that will not affect design). Any help on how to get a model like this set up would be helpful.
Thanks,
