Parallel Stormwater Branch Modeling
Parallel Stormwater Branch Modeling
(OP)
I need to cut an 18" pipe...have it dump into a concrete box with three 10" pipes for outlets. I'm not sure how to model the flows to see if the 10" pipes will cause headwater problems.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

SWMM will handle this, but I am not sure if you are asking about a software application for the modeling, the specific methodology to apply, or something else...

Then I divided the 18" design flow by the max small pipe flow....say 10cfs/3cfs = 3.33cfs ....so I'll use four of the small pipes, neglecting minor losses.
Using four pipes gives a max flow of 4 x 3 = 12cfs & 10/12 = 16% increase in flow capacity.
Thanks for your input.
