For HMS, all of the parameters (properties) are edited from the same HMS
Properties dialog shown below.
HMS includes the following hydrologic units which can be used to define a
model:
Sub-Basins
Sub-basins are one of the basic hydrologic units that can be defined in an
HMS model. To simulate runoff for a sub-basin, base flow, loss, and
transform properties must be defined. This is done by first selecting the
"Sub-basins" hydrologic unit Type from the HMS Properties dialog, and
then turning on the display of the different properties and methods that to
be defined. The properties are then edited in the properties table.
Unlike HEC-1, meteorological data are not defined as a sub-basin property,
but rather as part of the meteorological parameters of the HMS simulation.
Junctions
"A junction is an element with one or more inflows and only one outflow.
All inflow is added together to produce the outflow by assuming zero
storage at the junction. It is usually used to represent a river or stream
confluence." (HEC, 2002)
WMS treats outlets as junctions. This means that when creating an outlet,
WMS is actually creating a junction. WMS is also creating a reach when
creating an outlet. The only data associated with junctions is a description.
This description is exported to the HMS file when saving the file. A reach is
also associated with each outlet.
Reaches
Using the basin data computed by WMS when a TIN or DEM is used to
delineate the watershed, the K coefficient and number of sub reaches can
easily be estimated. K is essentially the travel time for the reach, which
can be estimated by noting the length of the stream segment (see this by
displaying in the Muskingum Cunge method) and multiplying by an
assumed channel velocity (1-5 ft/s would be appropriate for most natural
channels). Convert the estimated travel times from seconds to hours
before entering it into the K property field. The sub-reaches value is the
number of time steps the flood wave is in the channel and can be
determined by dividing K by the computational time step found in the Job
Control dialog (again be sure that units are consistent). A button exists in
the Muskingum K property field so that these computations can be done
directly within WMS.
Modified Puls
The modified Puls method uses a storage routing technique, or level-pool
routing. Enter the storage, outflow relationship as well as the number of
sub-reaches and initial condition.
Muskingum Cunge Std., Muskingum Cunge 8 Point, or Kinematic
Wave
The Muskingum-Cunge and Kinematic Wave methods are defined with
essentially the same parameters.
Channel length.
Manning's roughness.
Straddle Stagger
This is a seldom used method which requires the number of ordinates to
lag and the duration.
Diversions
HMS allows flow to be diverted from an outlet or drainage basin. This flow
can be thought of as leaving the normal drainage system at that point. It
can be retrieved at a downstream outlet where the diverted flow then
Reservoirs
Reservoir routing is similar to the Modified-Puls reach routing method. The
difference is that relationships between elevation-storage and elevationoutflow can be used to determine the storage-outflow curve. This input
can either be in the form of:
Elevation-Storage-Outflow
Elevation-Area-Outflow
Also establish the initial conditions (whether there is storage), and the
number of sub-reaches.
Sources
If wanting to run a model that is interior to a larger watershed then define
a source at the headwaters of a stream within a model. A source can be
defined either as a hydrograph or a constant flow rate. Sources can only
