=Introduction=
Manholes are typically chambers used to provide one or all of the following; maintenance access, change in culvert direction, connections and change in culvert dimensions. By default, manholes are automatically created within TUFLOW at all conduit nodes, any manually created manhole will override the automatically created manhole.
Line 12 ⟶ 7:
*Change in height, width or diameter and/or invert level of the adjoining conduits.
<br>
The presence of a manhole at a junction point will override the exit loss of any conduit discharging into the manhole and entrance loss of any conduit
<br>
There are 3 types of manholes which can be specified in the 1d_mh_* layer:

=Manhole Losses=
When modelling conduit pipe flows, the head losses that the flow in pipe are subject to are made up of major losses (or friction losses) and minor losses (or local losses). Major losses are caused by forces between the flow and wetted perimeter of the conduit. Minor losses are caused by disruption to the flow due to bends, cross-sectional changes, fittings such as manholes and steps in the bed profile. Major losses are represented through the specification of a friction coefficient. The representation of minor losses, particularly for gravity networks, is at manholes and requires separate treatment. The default TUFLOW/Estry manhole loss approach uses the Engelund method explained in
<br>
<li>'''K<sub>entry</sub>''' covers the expansion of flow within the manhole at the outlet of an inlet conduit. The coefficient is applied as the exit loss of the inlet conduit.
Line 47 ⟶ 42:
'''W<sub>m</sub>''' = Flow width in manhole (1d_mh width attribute) <br>
'''y<sub>m</sub>''' = Depth of water in manhole <br>
'''A<sub>m</sub>''' = Flow
'''A'<sub>m</sub>''' = Effective flow
'''A<sub>p</sub>''' = Flow area of conduit <br>
'''K<sub>m</sub>''' = Manhole Loss Parameter (1d_mh Km attribute) <br>
