It is recommended that grass and enhanced grass swales be modelled using the 'Swale' element in the TTT. A 'swale' has to connect two existing elements within the TTT Bioswales or dry swales, which have amended filter media, should be modelled as bioretention cells. The alternative is to use the 'enhanced swale' within the LID toolbox, but this incorporates fewer design parameters (and doesn't account for infiltration).
| General Info | |
|---|---|
| Upstream Node | Name of node on the inlet end of the swale (higher elevation) |
| Downstream Node | Name of node on the outlet end of the swale (lower elevation) |
| Manning's Roughness | Lower numbers indicate less surface obstruction and result in faster flow. Suggested range for mown grass (dependent on density) 0.03 – 0.06 [1] |
| Upstream Invert (m) | Depth of swale invert above node invert at inlet end of the swale |
| Downstream Invert (m) | Depth or elevation of the swale invert above the node invert at the outlet end of the swale |
| Cross section | |
| Maximum Depth (m) | Depth of the swale |
| Bottom Width (m) | Bottom width of the trapezoidal swale For a triangular channel, enter 0 |
| Left Side Slope (m/m) | Left side slope (run/rise). Suggested value of 3 or 4 if design permits. |
| Right Side Slope (m/m) | Right side slope (run/rise). Suggested value of 3 or 4 if design permits. |
| Seepage (mm/hour) | Infiltration rate of native (or amended) soil |
The TTT also includes an 'enhanced swale' element within the LID toolbox. In version 1.0 this element does not incorporate checkdams and doesn't account for any infiltration capacity.
| Surface | |
|---|---|
| Berm height (mm) | This is the height of the curb which constrains the overland sheet flow of water. Where the bottom of the slope discharges directly into another LID facility without impedance, the value is 0. |
| Surface roughness (Manning’s n) | Lower numbers indicate less surface obstruction and result in faster flow. Suggested range for mown grass (dependent on density) 0.03 – 0.06 [1] |
| Surface slope (%) | If the slope > 3%, use Check dams to create temporary ponding, increase infiltration, and slow flow to reduce erosion. |
| Swale side slopes (run/rise) | Suggested value of 3 or 4 if design permits. |
