摘要:
Stormwater drainage systems are typically consisted of a network of closed conduits designed to operate in an open-channel, free-surface flow regime under normal conditions. Nevertheless, during intense rain events, the conduits may fill completely undergoing a transition to a pressurized pipe flow. This regime transition is characterized by the propagation of a pressurization front in the form of a non-linear wave, or hydraulic bore. During this process, high-pressure peaks may occur inside sewers, potentially cab cause structural damages to the system, pouring through manholes or other vertical shafts, and other operational problems. On the other hand, flooding caused by system surcharge has become an, important issue. With increased property values of buildings and other structures, potential damage from prolonged flooding can cause millions of money. The complexity of the system geometries and the flow dynamics requires the use of numerical models to simulate this phenomenon. A detailed simulation model was described based upon hydraulic flow routing procedures for free surface and pressurized flow. Special consideration was given to the interaction between free surface and pressurized flow in order to accurately compute water pressure in the conduits as a basis for further assessment of possible damage costs. The model application was presented for small case study in terms of algorithm designs, equations solution method and preliminary simulation results.
