Hi
normally if a node have 3 conduite they shold have the same flow (if conduits had the same feature )
in the model below i have 3 conduits but with différents flows can you halp me to know the mistake in my model
Thank you
Junction CH8-Divider
conduits L1-A1_C1
L1-A2_C1
L1-A3_C1

Yes, the lengths are slightly different. The different lengths will mean the friction loss will be slightly different for each link which causes some differences in the depth.
Hello Fatima,
The reason the flows are different is that the the downstream links to each of your three links are slightly different from each other. This means the downstream depths of your three links are slightly different and since the downstream depth, cross sectional area and hydraulic radius are important in the solution are important the flows are different.
The only difference is the length of links is this the different that you tolking about ?
