"Master the dynamics of pump operations in fluid simulations with a one-second timestep 🔍⏱️:
1️⃣ Activation: The pump engages once the Wet Well reaches the predetermined 'Pump On' depth. 2️⃣ Flow Calculation: Leveraging the pump curve, the system calculates the flow based on the differential head across the pump. 3️⃣ Head Gain Adjustment: Post-activation, the head gain begins to decrease due to the elevated flow in the force main and the rising depth at the downstream node. 4️⃣ Stabilization: Shortly after starting, the pump enters a phase of constant flow, stabilized by the steady head gain across the pump. 5️⃣ Initial Surge: Observe a brief spike in flow at the onset of the pump cycle, a result of the rapid shift in pump head gain.
