Line 29:
* Line features will apply the form loss value to a single row of cells across the waterway. The TUFLOW form loss input should be entered representing the total value (eg. FC = 0.2).
* Polygon features will distribute the form loss between multiple cells across the width of the bridge and across the waterway. Due to this the TUFLOW form loss input should be entered as the total value per unit width in the direction of flow (eg. FC = 0.2/20m = 0.01).</li>
<li>
<li>The head loss across key structures should be reviewed, and if necessary, benchmarked against other methods (Recorded calibration data, HEC-RAS). Note that a well-designed 2D model will be more accurate than a 1D model, provided that any “micro” losses are incorporated.</li>
<li>TUFLOW check files should also be reviewed to confirm that the correct form losses are being applied.</li>
