AqueductOpen channel flow with branchesOpen channel flow
TunnelOpen channel flow with branchesOpen channel flow
Control gateDiscrete gate flow formula is coupled with discrete Saint-Venant equations. Initial water level, discharge, and process of control gate opening are provided to automatically select corresponding flow calculation formulaDischarge point, single setting; three controlling modes (, , sum ); appropriate discrete solution is coupled
DiversionLateral outflow, source-sink term in continuity equationLateral outflow, inner boundary
CulvertAccording to the water level, flow contains open flow; half-pressure flow and pressure flowCulvert module includes zero flow, upstream controlled flow, downstream controlled flow for different computational purposes. Above flow modes consists of many flow situations and equation. Discrete equations are solved with Saint-Venant equations
Inverted siphonDiscrete pressure flow equation is coupled with discrete Saint-Venant equations to solve togetherAs a culvert with fully submerged flow
