HydroCAD pipe flow
HydroCAD pipe flow
(OP)
I'm modeling a storm system to a pond and set up all aspects as flow segments in a subcatchment. I understand that for pipes this is open-channel flow modeling. If this is the case than why isn't it limiting my flow to the open-channel pipe capacity and spreading my flow peak? I can get it to do this if I route each subcatchment thru a reach but shouldn't the pipe flow segment have the same effect?





RE: HydroCAD pipe flow
One would typically verify capacity of storm drain systems with other software which accounts for inlet capture etc. Yet, one could model each element of the storm system in Hydrocad. One would need to break the subcatcment into smaller areas flowing to each element.
