Conduit

Conduit is a command (e.g. pipe, channel, etc.) that conveys water from one command to another one.

Parameter Name Description Default Value
NHYD Hydrograph number. —
NAME Name of the component. —
From Node The name of the from node. —
To Node The name of the destinated node. —
COMMENT 1, 2, and 3 Comment for the command. —
Tag Optional category or classification.
System Type Specifies the junction’s system type, whether it belongs in the overland, storm, or sanitary system. Blank
Shape Edit the geometric properties of the conduit’s cross-section. CIRCULAR
Geometry 1, 2, 3, and 4 Based on the selected shape, the value will change.
Full Depth [m] Maximum depth of the conduit’s cross section (m or ft) 1
Length [m] Conduit length (m or ft) 400
Inlet Offset [m] Depth or elevation of the conduit invert above the node inverts at the inlet end of the conduit (m or ft). 0
Outlet Offset [m] Depth or elevation of the conduit invert above the node inverts at the outlet end of the conduit (m or ft). 0
Slope [%] Slope of the conduit.
Roughness Manning’s roughness coefficient. 0.01
Initial Flow [m3/s] Initial inflow in the conduit at the start of the simulation (flow units). 0
Flow Limit [m3/s] Maximum flow in the conduit (flow unit)- use 0 or leave blank if not applicable. 0
Full Flow [m3/s] Max/full flow. 0
Entry Loss Coeff. Head loss coefficient associated with energy losses at the entrance of the conduit. 0
Exit Loss Coeff. Head loss coefficient associated with energy losses at the exit of the conduit. 0
Ava. Loss Coeff. Head loss coefficient associated with energy losses along the length of the conduit. 0
Flap Gate YES, if the flap gate exists that prevents flow back through the conduit, or NO if no flap gate exists. NO
Culvert Code Code number of inlet geometry if the conduit is a culvert subject to possible inlet flow control – leave blank otherwise. 0
