The SUPERLINK (Ji, 1999) model has been included in GSSHA to simulate subsurface drainage networks. The SUPERLINK model can be used to simulate urban subsurface drainage systems and agricultural tile drains. Systems can have both tile drains and surface inlets. Features include multiple networks, looped networks, discharge back on the overland and to channels. SUPRLINK is implemented in GSSHA versions 5.1 and higher, and supported by WMS versions 8.3 and higher. The SUPERLINK method and it's implementation is described in detail here: SUPERLINK TN.
To use SUPERLINK include the STORM_SEWER card with the name of the SUPERLINK pipe network file. The SUPERLINK pipe network file, .spn file, describes the SUPERLINK network, including the network, the connectivity of the network, physical attributes of drains, pipes, etc. The format of this file is very similar the channel input file, .cif file, used to described the stream network. When simulating tile drain, the connectivity between the tile network and the groundwater modeling grid is specified with the GRID_PIPE card, which is used to define the grid pipe file, .gpi file. This file format is very similar to the grid stream file, .gst file, used to describe the stream network connectivity to the overland flow grid. A SUPERLINK network consist of a two level description of the network. The network and its connectivity are described with junctions and superlinks. Only juntions can be discharge to streams or the overland flow plane. Within a superlink can be individual pipes connected with nodes. These inter-superlink attributes can be used to describe changes in the pipe properties, or just to add nodes for computational purposes. SUPERLINK is senstive to the node spacing, so it is important to space nodes properly. As an option, the user can let GSSHA assigned the individual nodes for computational purposes, using the SUPERLINK_C_OPT card.
The required inputs are described in: SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE REPORT. This report have not yet been approved for release. When approved for release this link will be made active.
