• Hydraulic conductivity of sewage

    Simeon Sevov
    Simeon Sevov
    Hello everyone. I want to ask you by whose formula is calculated the hydraulic conductivity of round section sewage pipes depending on the filling of the pipe (h/D) in SewerGEMS. It could be by Thormann's , Manning's or someone elses. I'm attaching graph…

    Hi, I got the warning notification stated above and I looked at my model and it seems that we have the lowest office in the pond outlet to be lower than the pond outlet invert and the headwater elevation. I am thinking that I need to fix that by placing…

    Hi, I am getting the notification stated above in my question. If I want to portray reverse flow is that something I need to worry about fixing or is it just warning me there is reverse flow so I am aware of it? Please advise. Thanks, …

  • How does "constant flow" for pond seepage method?

    Paola Espinoza-Youn
    Paola Espinoza-Youn
    Hi, I was wondering if I did the "constant flow" method does the pond need to be using Elevation-Area or one of the other options under the volume type that are available? Also i am aware that the solver should be implicit or the GVF-Rational (StormCAD…

  • How to discard water quality volume to an arbitrary outfall?

    Paola Espinoza-Youn
    Paola Espinoza-Youn
    Hi, I have a model in which a pond goes to an outlet structure to go directly to our storm system. However, we want to discard the water quality volume from that same pond to go to arbitrary outfall so it does not affect downstream of our system. I…

  • Is it possible to design unknown conduit/manhole inverts while maintaining conduit diameter and other hydraulic elements?

    Ryan Sklar
    Ryan Sklar
    I have a existing model which contains sections with unknown conduit/manhole invert elevations, but the conduit diameter is known. I want to apply minimum slope relative to their known diameter to these sections in order to obtain inverts.
