The ITM - SWMM Model
Description
ITM-SWMM is a fork of the public domain U.S. EPA Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) that includes the Illinois Transient Model (ITM) as an optional flow routing method. SWMM is a distributed rainfall-runoff-routing ... simulation model designed for both single-event and long-term (continuous) simulations of runoff quantity and quality, primarily in urban areas. For more details on SWMM, visit this link. ITM is a finite-volume, shock-capturing model used to simulate the dynamics of rapidly filling and draining sewer systems.

Typical Applications
The ITM-SWMM model is applicable to various hydraulic and sewer system analyses, including:
- Evaluating the impact of gate closures on transient flow formation in combined sewer systems
- Assessing the potential for surge formation
- Modeling hydraulic transients involving simultaneous free-surface and pressurized flows in closed-conduit systems
- Analyzing filling conditions in combined sewer systems, from dry-bed flows to free-surface flows, transitioning to partially free-surface and partially pressurized flows, and ultimately to fully pressurized flows
- Simulating catchments and collector systems
Users
The ITM-SWMM model is being used for the transient and non-transient analysis of various combined sewer systems in the United States. Below is an incomplete list of users:

(*) The flow routing DLL in ITM-SWMM is identical to that in ITM. As a result, ITM-SWMM and ITM share the same version number.
