Pond Outlet Structure
Pond Outlet Structure
(OP)
How to model a structure with an inlet pipe(submerged) A weir wall inside the structure with an orifice in it. A rim to the structure and an outlet pipe. Have any ideas about to go about doing that?
RE: Pond Outlet Structure
Pond 1->outlet culvert(inlet pipe)->Pond 2(This is the structure using pond type "Catch Basin with insignificant storage"
Pond 2 is configured as follows (using made-up dimensions):
# Routing Invert Outlet Devices
1 Primary 50.00 24" x 100'long Outlet pipe
2 Device 1 50.10 3.0" Vert.Orifice in Weir Wall
3 Device 1 52.00 2.0'x 2.0' high Sharp Crested Rect. Weir
4 Device 1 55.00 48" Horiz. Structure Top (Rim)

This situation also points out that HydroCAD doesn't deal with inlet restrictions as such. All restrictions are modeled as outlet controls on the appropriate "pond", hence TerryScan's recommendation of two ponds in series.
