My classic Siphon Network in XPSWMM that also applies to InfoSWMM, InfoSewer, ICM and SWMM5
Since Siphons are a common question and I found my older
XPSWMM training models – here is a reminder:
- The Siphon works based on the old Roman Aqueduct
system,
- Inflow comes into network
- Water falls down into the siphon based on elevation
differences between the nodes, in this case the down link
- Eventually the HGL in the nodes and links increases
and flow comes out the downstream end of the siphon, in this case the up
link
- It all works on the elevation of the nodes.
There are no other special data requirements.
