OpenFlows Storm and Sewer Modeling Introduction Short Video Series
OpenFlows Storm And Sewer Solvers And Capabilities
OpenFlows Storm and Sewer solutions were created with the intentions of providing an easy-to-use tool that can shape shift for whatever your current need is. That’s why we offer many solvers that can be used for a wide range of projects. In this video you will learn about the solvers and what they can be used for.
Converting and Importing Model Files from other software into OpenFlows Storm and Sewer Software
Learn how to import existing model files from other software into OpenFlows Storm and Sewer software. OpenFlows easily allows users to leverage existing files, helping modelers save time and focus on design.
Repeatability and the Use of Seed Files in OpenFlows Storm and Sewer
OpenFlows Storm and Sewer software can reproduce simulation results consistently under the same conditions using seed files. The repeatability can help ensure that when you run a simulation multiple times with the same input data and parameters, you get consistent and reproducible results. This enhances the reliability of the modeling process.
Pumping and Force Mains in OpenFlows Sewer
In OpenFlows Sewer, pumping or force mains refer to pipes that transport wastewater under pressure from a pump station to a higher elevation or to overcome terrain obstacles.
2D Modeling with OpenFlows Storm and Sewer Software
OpenFlows Storm and Sewer Software offers a 2D solver to aid engineers in designing and implementing anti-flooding measures in urban areas. In this video you get an introduction of how the 2D solver can be used to help the engineer make the correct decisions for the communities they are serving while saving time and money.
Modeling Low Impact Development (LID) controls in OpenFlows Storm Software
OpenFlows Storm software has many built-in Low Impact Development control elements, such as bio-retention cells, swales, and trenches. Learn more about the LID controls available in OpenFlows modeling solutions.
Are you using the Rational Method correctly?
Due to its simplicity and effectiveness, the Rational Method is one of the most used equations to estimate peak flow.Â
However, this method presents room for error, particularly when determining the Time of Concentration.Â
Applying the correct Tc (Time of Concentration) is key to determine the peak discharges in a hydraulic analysis.Â
Sepcity Formation Analysis in OpenFlows
Ever changing and more demanding regulations, implies that wastewater systems must also comply to safety, toxicity, odor and corrosion regulations.Â
Under anoxic conditions, wastewater systems can generate hydrogen sulfide, causing corrosion, odor, and toxicity issues. Low-velocity sewers foster anaerobic bacteria growth, leading to a slime layer.Â
This bacteria produces hydrogen sulfide gas, creating the “rotten egg” smell typical of septic wastewater. The subsequent production of sulfuric acid by aerobic bacteria, particularly in concrete sewers, results in concrete corrosion, weakening the structure and potentially leading to collapses if not addressed.Â
