Use of times series or fixed water level
- Rating: No Rating
I am the supporter and user of SWMM5. Recently I built a small model using SWMM5 and found some weird outputs. The model build is attached herewith for your reference.
The model is built for run with time series of inflows and downstream water levels. To clearly demonstrate the findings, 2-hour duration is selected for running only. The simulation option is Dynamic Wave with inertial terms kept.
After the model run, I have compared the total inflow at upstream end node with that at outfall node for each reach, see summary attached.
Since the inflow at upstream end during the 2-hour simulation period is constant therefore the inflow at downstream outfall is expected to be constant as well. But this is only true for reach DP3~DP3-out. For reaches DP5~DP5-out and DH6~DH6-out the inflow at downstream outfall is totally different from that at the upstream end, see attached captured Plots of Inflow Time Series.
Does anyone can expalin this problem?

Weather Underground is a site that provides excellent local weather information in the form of graphs, tables and csv files. You can use the data very easily in SWMM 5 by copying from Excel to a time series in SWMM 5.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH but thank you for the quick reply, I knew it was something stupid....
I guess Forrest Gump was right, "Stupid is as Stupid does"
I am having trouble doing something that I have done a thousand times before, I am trying to directly input flow data into a node, for whatever reason, it refuses to accept it. I go to time series editor, name it, paste it in, view it, and then go t…
I am trying to locate a "typical years" rainfall for the Pittsburgh region for use in a model. I am trying to get away from the single event design sotrm modeling but don't have the resources to analyze 50 years worth of data to find the a years' wo…
