Viewing where 2d weir flow used?

[katebradbrook 0]

Hello, is there a map output option to visualise where 2d weir flow is being calculated?

Hi Kate,

Map output data type “R” (flow regime) can be specified to visualise where the weir flow is being calculated.

The output value is ‑1.5 for broad-crested weir flow; 0 (zero) for normal (sub-critical flow with momentum); greater than 1 for upstream controlled friction flow (eg. supercritical flow); and ‑1 for flow through a flow constriction when the deck is submerged.

Please note that when using the default cell corner approach, the flow regime is a weighted average of the flow regimes at the four adjoining cell mid-sides, which can be misleading. Using the Map Output Format == SMS HIGH RES option will output the exact flow regime occurring at the cell mid-sides.

 

Kind Regards,
