This is also known as high flow bypass. music calculates the capacity of the swale for the given dimensions and vegetation. Inflow in excess of the calculated capacity is treated as a high flow bypass.
It is possible to record flux data possible to view or save various flows and water quality as below for the swale:
- inflow rate and water quality
...
- computed water levels and storage.
Refer to Fluxes for more information about fluxes.
The Notes button allows you to record any important details or assumptions for the swale (for example, you may provide an explanation of how the vegetation height was estimated). It is good practice to provide notes of any important assumptions, for future reference by others using the model.You need to select them to record before you run.
Advanced Swale Properties
The advanced properties section (opened using the ‘More’ button) of the swale properties dialogue box displays the parameters that describe the treatment processes in the swale as shown below.

For details on configuring CSTR cells, refer to Number of CSTR Cells. An infinite number of CSTRs would replicate the effects of plug flow through the swale. music defaults to 10 CSTR cells for swales as most swales are relatively long and thin, however, as the shape of the system can vary markedly dependent on design, the number of CSTR cells that is required to represent the hydraulic efficiency of the design is dependent on that shape.
