Description

WaterGEMS: Hydraulics Modeling - Level I

OpenFlows WaterGEMS provides you with a comprehensive yet easy-to-use decision-support tool for water distribution networks. The software helps improve your knowledge of how infrastructure behaves as a system, how it reacts to operational strategies, and how it should grow as population and demands increase. From fire flow and water quality simulations, to criticality and energy cost analysis, OpenFlows WaterGEMS has everything you need in a flexible multiplatform environment. OpenFlows WaterGEMS is a superset of OpenFlows WaterCAD. #AulaGEO

In this course you will learn the use of a software specialized in this features:

Intelligent Planning

Efficiently identify potential problems, accommodate service area growth, and plan/prioritize capital improvement projects by using criticality analysis, DMA planning, and pressure management tools to identify potential projects.

Optimized Operations

Use real-time data to analyze energy use and costs, maximize operational efficiencies, minimize disruptions, and intelligently respond to emergencies.

Build and Update Models Faster

Intuitive to use so you can easily jumpstart your modeling process with geospatial data, CAD drawings, databases, and spreadsheets. Apply automated calibration, leak detection, design, rehabilitation, and pump operations.

Identify Water Loss

Use field data to quantify nonrevenue water and help pinpoint loss locations faster.

Assess Fire Flow Capacity

Use automated workflows to access and identify inadequacies in fire protection.

SewerGEMS: urban sanitary and combined modeling - Level II

This level is a beginner's guide to Bentley Open Flows Sewer Gems. It is an Urban Sanitary and Combined Sewer Modeling Software. We will start from very basics like accessing existing model, reviewing the interface and navigating through the user interface.

The course covers a section related to sanitary gravity sewer and at the end of section we will have a quick review with question-answer sheets. Too include two quick exercises related to sanitary system with pumps and sanitary sewer EPS modeling.

We shall go through the Model Builder, T-Rex and Load Builder and in the last section will cover constraint based design of sewer.

At the end of this course, you can review an additional lecture on Bentley’s hydraulics and Hydrology Products. This is beginner’s guide, however, a person with zero knowledge can review Lesson 3 and follow the PDF tutorials before getting started.

SewerGEMS is an easy-to-use advanced engineering software for you to analyze, design, and operate sanitary and combined sewer systems. You can decrease decision risks by ensuring that the model uses the best available data, built-in hydraulic and hydrology capabilities, and a variety of wet-weather calibration methods. Easily create what-if scenarios to gain a better understanding of wastewater systems to make smarter decisions, and you can improve your response times. SCADA integration provides you with reliable model results, improves capacity and limits sewer overflows. This enables you to comply with sewer regulations set by regulatory agencies. Better understand surface flood depth and velocity, flood hazard, and inundation times with the new user-friendly 1D/2D hydraulic analysis capability. #AulaGEO

FLOOD: Hydrologic Modeling using OpenFlows - Level III

In this level you will learn the use of FLOOD, a software to model and simulate extreme events using accurate and reliable flood risk analysis data

FLOOD is flood modeling software for analyzing and mitigating flood risk in urban, riverine, and coastal areas. Using spatially distributed numerical models, users can quickly simulate all hydrological and hydraulic processes to support emergency planning and green-initiative design. Apply a multi-scale 1D/2D approach to support flood early warning systems (FEWS).

Mitigate urban flooding

Urban flooding poses risks to residents, damages property and infrastructure, and disrupts urban services. Create efficient solutions that increase the resilience of urban drainage systems and implement mitigation measures, such as low-impact development and green initiatives. Mitigate these issues by producing detailed simulations to identify bottlenecks and hotspots that hinder the capacity of stormwater drainage systems.

Prevent riverine flooding

Calculate river flow to understand, evaluate, and optimize reservoir operations to minimize and prevent damages from riverine floods. Design and improve emergency structures and outline flood-resilient land use strategies, all within a climate change context. #AuaGEO Simulate the exchange of water between the river flow and (sub)surface flow based on hydraulic gradients. Produce inundation maps, flood risk maps, and hazard maps that address riverine flows, river defense capacity, and large-scale land use changes. Estimate the drainage network from topographic maps and to interpolate cross sections in space.

Model coastal flooding

Coastal flooding can be caused by high tides, storm surges, and tsunamis, sometimes in combination with insufficient urban drainage capacity or high upstream river flows. Dynamically model complex array of processes related to coastal flooding to find accurate solutions for defining and improving storm surge and tsunami protection plans.

Analyze flood inundation areas

Calculate the extent of flooded areas and estimate the flood hazard based on water column heights and peak flow velocities. Easily integrate models generated with OpenFlows SewerGEMS to simulate surface and stormwater flow. Create scenarios and make comparisons among different alternatives to rapidly find the best solution for flood risk mitigation.

Add real-world context, animation, and visualization

Explore and present model results using a wide range of integrated visualization capabilities, including the option to make smooth, continuous animations of the obtained results. Help stakeholders better understand the risks and impacts of flooding events and potential mitigation actions with integrated 3D reality models. Bring simulations to life by generating realistic visualizations of flood events using LumenRT.

Build and manage hydraulic models

Leverage and import many well-known external data formats to maximize ROI on geospatial and engineering data. Jumpstart the model building process and manage models effectively to keep focus on making the best engineering decisions.
