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.
