FCV for Modelling Existing System

Hi. 

I have a basic question w.r.t to modelling. 

I am having a DMA with 2 inlets. 

How do I model the flows through these inlets? 

I am trying using FCV at D/s of Both the reservoirs and giving them the known volume/day value. 

Is this a correct practice? 

If I try to model without FCVs, then only single inlet will supply the entire flow, which isn't correct. 

Please suggest the correct method to model multiple inlets for a DMA.

Thanks.

  • Thanks for the reply Tom. 

    I am having a single DMA with me. This DMA has 2 inlets. One inlet is at higher elevation, whereas the other is at the lower elevation. Also, the HGL difference is such that, If I do not put any control valve, then complete flow is being taken up from Inlet-1. 

    I am trying to model this DMA. For this I am trying to see if putting an FCV and assigning it with the flow pattern mutliplier is the way to model the DMA. 

    Thanks. 

  • Thanks for the link. I went through it completely, and found myself at Point 4. 

    That's what I am doing. 

    I guess it's a bad modelling practice. 

    But I will have to find another way out of it. In order to get the better results.
