Culvert Class

Models the flow through typically longer pipe between limiting cross sections (up- and down- stream). The pipe my have any cross section geometry and may be either closed or open.

See ICulvert for parameters for setting up a culvert.

The culvert such that critical flow conditions are calculated prior to calculation of the actual flow. The critical flow conditions are typically by activating the CalcCriticalConditions method from a user interface The result of this procedure is stored as part of the culvert specification. See CalculateFreeOverFlowQhRelation for more detail.

Properties

ConvectionTermReductionCoefficient Reduction coefficient for convection terms (kinetic energy terms) in energy equation. This coefficient is applied when the difference between inflow kinetic energy and outflow kinetic energy (or more precisely, velocity head difference measured in meters) becomes larger than the total head loss. 0 corresponds to no reduction (default) whereas 1 corresponds to removing the upstream and downstream convective terms.
