1D Pumps: Difference between revisions

A pump needs to first be digitised in a 1d_nwke layer. The direction of the polyline must go from inlet to outlet as a pump is unidirectional (see Section 5.9.2.1 Pumps). The attributes required for a pump in your 1d_nwk layer can be found withinin the 2018<u>[https://docs.tuflow.com/classic-hpc/manual/latest/ TUFLOW manualManual]</u>.<br>

Within the *.ecf the following commands and files are at a minimum required to run a pump with no logicallylogical controlcontrols:<br>

The depth discharge database is set up in the same way as a pit inlet database, see(refer 5.12.4 into the <u>[https://docs.tuflow.com/classic-hpc/manual/latest/ TUFLOW manualManual]</u>). Each pump ‘Inlet_type’ must reference a name within the depth discharge database, otherwise [[TUFLOW_Message_1118 | <font color="red"><tt>ERROR 1118 - Could not find pit inlet type ",a," in the pit inlet database</tt></font><tt></tt>]]. The ‘Area (m2)’ column is the area of the pump offtake and ‘Width (m)’ column is the width of the pump offtake. Without information in the Area(m2) or Width(m) columns in the depth discharge database <font color="red"><tt>Error 1092</tt></font><tt></tt> and <font color="red"><tt>Error 1093</tt></font><tt></tt> will appear. <br>

With the pump curve defined in the depth-discharge database it can either be specified within the pump 1d_nwk fields in the inlet_type field, for non-operational pumps, or it can be defined with the TOC file, for operational pumps. When defining with a TOC file, the pump curve is defined at the top of the structure control definition block and then the subsequent rules can turn the pump on/off. See the below TOC structure control definition for an example. In this case, the pump curve is used when the pump switches on once upstream water levels reach 2.75m AD. heThe pump curve is then used until the upstream water levels are reduced to 2.25m AD at which point the pump is switched off.
