Siphon Network in XPSWMM that also applies to InfoSWMM, InfoSewer, ICM and SWMM5
My classic Siphon Network in XPSWMM that also applies to InfoSWMM, InfoSewer, ICM and SWMM5
Since Siphons are a common question and I found my older
XPSWMM training models – here is a reminder:
- The Siphon works based on the old Roman Aqueduct
system,
- Inflow comes into network
- Water falls down into the siphon based on elevation
differences between the nodes, in this case the down link
- Eventually the HGL in the nodes and links increases
and flow comes out the downstream end of the siphon, in this case the up
link
- It all works on the elevation of the nodes.
There are no other special data requirements.
