DamBreakNWS Properties

Level of dam (before breach)

Width of dam (before breach)

Special crest width used when calculating the approach correction. Usually (default value) CrestWidthForApproachCorrection is equal to CrestWidth but in special circumstances it is necessary to control the approach correction directly through this width.

Calculated Discharge derivative with DownStreamWaterLevel. Downstream is relative to the direction of chainage. The value is calculated by SetWaterLevels. Unit: [m^2/s]

Calculated Discharge derivative with UpStreamWaterLevel. Upstream is relative to the direction of chainage. The value is calculated by SetWaterLevels. Unit: [m^2/s]

Calculated Discharge. The value is calculated by SetWaterLevels. Unit: [m^3/s]

Downstream water level.Downstream refers to the direction of chainage. The water level is set by use of SetWaterLevels Unit: [m]

Property used by (de)serializer, when it can not find proper target for a data field. Support of forward compatible data contracts.

Date of failure

Hours of simulation start of failure

Upstream water level of failure

Specifies how the dam break failure evolves

Type of failure trigger

Flow area through structure. Used by most (but not all) structures.

The discharge (and discharge derivatives) are scaled by the flow factor.

Structure ID

Used to get a consistent description of the structure. The ID comes in user units. Used e.g. when reporting errors, warnings and hints.

Flag to control if the structure is implicit or explicit. If the structure is explicit (Implicit == false) then the derivatives of the dicharge are always zero. Default value: true

Invert level down stream

Invert level up stream

Length of the structure. Unit: [m] Default value: 0m

Location property.

The directory of the text output file is taken from this file path. It is set from the boundary data connection during Initialize().

The getter is used to get a list of errors.

Bank side that side-structure is located on

If side structure contains reservoir, and has the Coordinate set, this is not used (and should be set to Undefined).

Reservoir at end of side structure. Null if not side structure, or no reservoir is defined

Simulation start time.

Used in case FailureTrigger is HoursAfterStart.

Also used to write information to the DamBreak state text output file.

Type of structure

String used to identified cross sections

Structure type, unique for each structure.

Upstream water level. Upstream refers to the direction of chainage. The water level is set by use of SetWaterLevels Unit: [m]
