Hello,
I am simulating open channel flow network in Sewergems ( in Explicit (SWMM Solvers).
I have installed culverts in my network. I need to introduce culvert head loss to the network. Below is the way I have represented in the model. appreciate your opinion on the best way of incorporating the culvert loss
into the model.
Thanks Regard
Nishadi
Nishadi,
Unfortunately I cannot see the screenshot. Generally speaking the headloss across the headwall of a culvert is calcualted by the software automatically, based on the inlet description that you select in the headwall properties. This uses the standard HDS-5 culvert entrance loss calculations. See:Modeling Reference - Headwalls
As for losses in the barrel of the culvert, they will be based on the selected friction factor and friction method set in the conduit properties.
