=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 culvert nodes, any manually created manhole will override the automatically created manhole.
Manholes are used at culvert junctions to dissipate energy due to: <br>
*Expansion/contraction of flow within the manhole chamber and outlet culverts.
*Change in direction of the culverts (i.e. a bend/deflection).
*Change in height, width or diameter and/or invert level of the adjoining culverts.
<br>
The presence of a manhole at a junction point will override the exit loss of any culvert discharging into the manhole and entrance loss of any culvert taking from our of the manhole. <br>
