Pond Outlet - Standpipe with rectangular notch
Pond Outlet - Standpipe with rectangular notch
(OP)
How do you model a standpipe with a 1.6 inch wide notch in a 12 inch diameter pipe that 0.6 feet tall? The sharp crested weir module requires a minimum crest length of 0.5 feet that I cannot seem to change?





RE: Pond Outlet - Standpipe with rectangular notch
In your case, model the notch as an orifice instead of a weir. The orifice calculations allow for weir flow when the opening is partially submerged. Using an orifice will also prevent double-counting any flow over the top of the riser.
