Subject: How is the Orifice Setting Used in SWMM 5 RTC Rules?
The Real Time Control Rule for Orifice Setting can be a function of a Setting constant, Setting from a Curve, Setting from a PID controller and a Setting from a Time Series (Figure 1). The Setting affects the Full Depth of the Orifice at each time step. The setting which ranges from 0 to 1 can either completely close or open the orifice (Figure 2).
