Wet Wells
The Wet Well volume can be determined by one of the following ways:
- Depth-Area Curve
- Constant area - Circular
- Constant area - Non-Circular
- Depth to Area Functions
- Variable Volume
Depth-Area Curve
This option allows for the modeling of an irregular shaped volume associated with the wet well. The curve is then translated to volumes using conic sections.
Constant Area
Sets up the volume using with a constant cross sectional area. The volume is analogous to a cylinder.
Depth to Area Functions (ft, m)
The Area is determined based on the following function which calculates the surface area for a given depth.
Either select the function based on feet or meters.
| Area | = | Surface Area at Given Depth | ft2, m2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coeff | = | user input value which is derived from existing area data | ft(2-Exp), m(2-Exp) |
| Depth | = | distance from the invert of the pond | ft, m |
| Exp | = | user input value which is derived from existing area data | unitless |
| Constant | = | the area at the bottom of the pond and is a user input value | ft2, m2 |
