How is the St Venant Equation Solved for in the Dynamic Wave Solution of SWMM 5?

Subject:   How is the St Venant Equation Solved for in the Dynamic Wave Solution of SWMM 5? An explanation of the four St. Venant Terms in SWMM 5 and how they change for Gravity Mains and Force Mains. The HGL is the water surface elevation in the upstream and downstream nodes of the link. The HGL for a full link goes from the pipe crown elevation up to the rim elevation of the node + the surcharge depth of the node.  The four terms are: dq2 = Time Step * Awtd * (Head Downstream – Head Upstream)…See More

SWMM 5 Precipitation Options

Subject:  SWMM 5 Precipitation Options You can have design storms, monitored storms of any length of the time from minutes to centuries, use intensity, volume or cumulative precipitation, use both rainfall and snowfall in the same rain gage depending on temperature, use both time series or external files for the rain gage and have unlimited rain gages with the limitation of one rain gage per subcatchment.  …See More

Total Precipitation does not match sum of precipitation in input file

Started this discussion. Last reply by Laura Ruppert Dec 19, 2011. 5 Replies

The total precipitation in inches reported in the EPA SWMM Status Report (9.075-in) does not match the sum of precipitation data in my input file (15-minute time steps).  The starting and ending…Continue

"I made a units mistake (how emabarrassing).  The sum of the 15-min precipitation input (inch/hour) needed to be devided by four. Thanks for your help."

"Hi,  Here is a small mode that uses your rainfall.   I have checked the values in Excel and they add up to the same values as SWMM 5.  You have 1+ year of rainfall, 15 minute intervals and intensity. "

"Precip Data is attached.  I got the data from King County, WA as a .csv file.  I modified it to put data in the correct columns and then saved as a tab delimited .txt file for SWMM to read."

"Do you have a copy of the precipitation data? Normally, i would say that the length of simulation is less than the rainfall record or there is missing data with a flag in your rainfall data."

The total precipitation in inches reported in the EPA SWMM Status Report (9.075-in) does not match the sum of precipitation data in my input file (15-minute time steps).  The starting and ending dates match, and continuity error is < 1%.  Any ideas about what could be wrong? Thanks, Laura See More
