Implicit Solver Special Considerations

Gravity sewer collection systems are subject to a number of special hydraulic conditions that must be considered in developing a full and complete solution scheme. These special conditions challenge the basic algorithm since they are not explicitly accounted for in the basic solution for 1-D gravity flow. The hydraulics engine has been extended to account for these conditions and the numerical adaptations are described in this section, which includes the following topics:
