CrossSectionMiddling Methods

Creates a new object that is a copy of the current instance.

Compares the current instance with another object of the same type.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Returns an extrapolated CrossSection, i.e., a copy of this cross section at the new location.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Additional storage area is a volume that the mass equation takes into account, but it does not influence the momentum equation. It could be a small pond next to the river that is filled/emptied as the water level in the river raises/falss.

Return the cross sectional area, also called the flow area, at the given water level.

Returns a Clone of the CrossSection, where the parent keeps a reference to the child. If a property is changed on the parent it will reflect in the child.

Get the conveyance at the specified water level

Gets the Critical depth for a given discharge - [m3/s] The critical depth is the depth where the flow changes from supercritical to subcritical flow.

Gets the Critical discharge for a given water level The critical discharge is the discharge where the flow changes from supercritical to subcritical flow.

Return the cross sectional area, also called the flow area, at the given water level.

Get storagewidth as dA/dh from neighboring values in processed XS areas at waterLevel This is how M11 does it - ONLY USED IN M11 SCHEME WHEN COMPARING DIRECTLY WITH M11 RESULTS Only implemented in XSOpen for now

Serves as the default hash function.

Returns the hydraulic radius for the given water level. The radius are calculated as one of : todo: check: Resistance Radius. Effective area, hydraulic radius Total area, hydraulic radius.

Get the derivate of the hydraulic radius at the given water level.

Gets the Natural depth for a given discharge [m3/s] and slope [dimensionless] The natural depth is the depth where the flow resistance and velocity balances, i.e., the Manning formula is fullfilled: Q = M*A*R^(2/3)*sqrt(I)

Resistance factor for the given water level. This will always return absolute resitance values.

Get the derivative of the resistance factor at the given water level

Returns the width from left bank to right bank at the given water level.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Return the integrated additional surface area from the bottom of the top slot to waterLevel

Initialize cross section. Calculates processed data if needed.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Ensures that the resistance fomulation is not relative. If the resistance fomulation is Mannings n it is changed to Mannings M and the data are changed accordingly if the resistance formulation is Darcy Weisbach formulation and data are changed to Chezy.

Returns a string that represents the current object.

Update datum for cross section

Validates that this cross sections is set up correctly.

The minimum value of Z in the cross section (bottom level) at a distance dx from the center of the cross section.

Gets the Natural depth for a given discharge [m3/s] and slope [dimensionless] The natural depth is the depth where the flow resistance and velocity balances, i.e., for Manning resistance formulation when Manning formula is fullfilled:

Get the capacity=conveyance*sqrt(slope) at the specified water level and slope.

Get the conveyance at the specified water level and slope.

The slope must be postive

Return delh for the cross section.
