Comparison of RDII Unit Hydrograph Approaches for Continuous Simulation using SWMM 5
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Continuous simulation of collection systems allows the modeler to quantify the frequencies of overflows, runtimes of pumps, utilization and dewatering durations of storage, and other important characteristics of wet-weather system performance.SWMM 5 uses the RTK unit hydrograph approach to calculate rainfall derived inflow and infiltration (RDII).SWMM 5 allows up to eighteen empirically derived unit hydrograph parameters which may be varied monthly.These parameters can be used in different ways through various emphases and parameter combinations including omission of some of the parameters (Gheith, 2009).In some cases similar accuracy can be attained in a particular objective measure, such as peak flow, when using another approach.A consistent approach is recommended to facilitate more equitable comparisons between modeled sanitary sewer service areas, both in terms of the parameters used and the simulation results produced.Using available flow monitoring data from the Sewer System Capacity Model Update 2006 project for the City of Columbus, Ohio, wet weather flow responses were analyzed seasonally (dormant and growth seasons).A sample flow meter basin was selected and several RDII unit hydrograph approaches were compared using the flow and rainfall data selected for a 16 month period.The analysis indicated that seasonally varied RTK with monthly varied initial abstraction parameters (D max , D rec and D 0 ) provide the best simulation results for both large and small storms.However, seasonally-

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
