Introduction


  • Advice on SX connections & number of cells to connect to 2D domain – implications
  • Flow regimes – theory behind each.
  • How to check for the flow regime – link to check file
  • How do we sub divide logic rules (operational culverts)*
  • Losses – fixed, Englehund, automatic manholes etc.
  • Provide some justification on the ‘default’ height/width, entry/exit losses.


Flow Regimes

The flow regime through a culvert are divided into the following types. Checking this information for any 1D culvert can be inspected from the _TSF.mif/_TSF_P.shp that outputs the regime at each output interval.

Regime Description
A Unsubmerged entrance and exit. Critical flow at entrance. Upstream controlled with the flow control at the inlet.
B Submerged entrance and unsubmerged exit. Orifice flow at entrance. Upstream controlled with the flow control at the inlet.
C Unsubmerged entrance and exit. Critical flow at exit. Upstream controlled with the flow control at the culvert outlet.
D Unsubmerged entrance and exit. Sub-critical flow at exit. Downstream controlled.
E Submerged entrance and unsubmerged exit. Full pipe flow. Upstream controlled with the flow control at the culvert outlet.
F Submerged entrance and exit. Full pipe flow. Downstream controlled.
G No flow. Dry or flap-gate active.
H Submerged entrance and unsubmerged exit. Adverse slope. Downstream controlled.
J Unsubmerged entrance and exit. Adverse slope. Downstream controlled.
K Unsubmerged entrance and submerged exit. Critical flow at entrance. Upstream controlled with the flow control at the inlet. Hydraulic jump along culvert
L Submerged entrance and exit. Orifice flow at entrance. Upstream controlled with the flow control at the inlet. Hydraulic jump along culvert.
