Example3

========
This example illustrates SWMM 5's Rule-based Control feature
for simulating real-time control. The data file applies to a
real-world combined sewer system with a diversion pump installed
to help prevent local overflows. The scenario modelled contains
only dry weather flow, and illustrates the use of DWF time-ofday patterns to have DWF vary diurnally. We suggest trying the
following:
(The layout of this sewer network will only allow Dynamic Wave
flow routing to be used.)
1. After opening the file, note how the pump station is modelled
with a storage node and a Type4 pump. Bring up the Controls
Editor to view the rules that control the on/off status of the
pump.
2. Also view the hourly DWF time patterns that are assigned to
each node that receives DWF. The base-line DWF was set to 1.0
for these nodes, so the pattern multipliers are the actual flows
in this example.
3. Run the model (for a 24-hour simulation).
4. Create one time series plot of water depth at the storage node
and another for flow in the pump. With both plots visible,
select Window | Tile so that they can both be viewed without
any overlap. See if the plots reflect the desired control rules.
5. Create a scatter plot of pump flow versus water depth in the
storage node and note how this plot is faithful to the control
rules and to the pump's operating curve.
