=Introduction=
The following section looks at bridges using the 1D component of TUFLOW. Reference should also be made to Section 5.7.2 of the <u>[https://downloads.tuflow.com/_archive/TUFLOW/Releases/2018-03/TUFLOW%20Manual.2018-03.pdf 2018 TUFLOW Manual]</u>. For information on bridges in the 2D domain please see <u>[[TUFLOW_2D_Hydraulic_Structures | 2D Hydraulic Structures]]</u> and <u>[[Tutorial_M11#Part_2_-_1D_Open_Channel_with_1D_Bridges_and_Weir_inflow_.282D.29_and_Outflow_.281D.29 | Module 11]]</u>.
1D bridge channels do not require length, Manning's n, divergence or bed slope (they are effectively zero-length channels in terms of conveyance) and rely on a reasonable estimate of energy losses associated with re-expansion of water after the vena-contracta (entrance losses), expansion of water downstream (exit losses), pier losses, bridge deck and guard rail losses. Other factors include accounting for occurrence of bridge deck pressure flow and the effects of bridge skew and multiple bridges (shielding effects of an upstream bridge on a downstream bridge). <br>
