Hi to the group.
here's my situation:
I am modeling a treatment swale as a pond, with a broad crested weir as the outlet structure.
The problem: The outlet hydrograph is showing an oscilating flow: zero flow up to several CFS.
I'd like to model the broad crested weir as a "check dam." a check dam here is a pile of 1.5" crushed rock. Awfully porous. (until it gets clogged by silt, but that's another thread.)
any thoughts?
