Modeling Buried Storage Pipes
Modeling Buried Storage Pipes
(OP)
Just a quick question. I want to model underground pipe storage (5, 10' diameter pipes, 100' long) and want to get the general consensus on how to input the data. The pipes will not be installed level and will instead be located within a hillside (approximately 15% slope). Currently, I have the pipes modeled as separate ponds linked together. Would I be able to use the chanber wizard for this scenario or does the slope of the hillside, and thus the outlet piping leave too large a margin of error?





RE: Modeling Buried Storage Pipes
Exactly what does your "outlet piping" consist of? Remember that modeling the pipes as a storage pond is only appropriate if you have an outlet control that is small enough to create a level pool within the pipe. (level WSE, not level bottom) Otherwise the pipes are providing conveyance, rather than pond storage, and need to be modeled accordingly.
