The HGL is the water surface elevation in the upstream and downstream nodes of the link. The HGL for a full link goes from the pipe crown elevation up to the rim elevation of the node + the surcharge depth of the node. The four terms are: dq2 = Time Step * Awtd * (Head Downstream – Head Upstream)…See More

Divider
- Rating: No Rating
Hi!
Can you tell me how to deal with the fact that it's impossible to model divider under dynamic wave; only with kinematic, but that brings problem of more then one outlet or adverse slope?
Problem is quite simple - flow above 5 lps (per example) shoud go directly to outfall(rain) and the rest shoud go in some tank and then through pump on another outfall (wastewater treatment) - simple model of wastewater and rain solution.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Vasenka,
It would be nicer to have the dividers work in dynamic wave but in the meantime you can use an Outlet link to simulate your needs.
node divider ---- flow over 5 lps ---> Oufall
flow under 5 lps ---> Tank --> Pump ---> WWTP
I will show you in a model in a few minutes.

Here is an example model with outlet that divides the flow into under 5 lps and over 5 lps outlet links - i hope this helps.

Can you please attach *.inp file so I can check it further more?
Do you have any idea how to model it under dynamic wave because in some situations I need both options (dynamic and divider) available in same model? Or should I try with weir?
Thank you very much, this helps a lot!
