Inlet formula (Water Overlay): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:14, 4 December 2020

Inlets are hydraulic structures can pump water in and out of the project area and are connected with a water body outside the project area.

The amount flowing in or out of inlets is calculated for the cell the inlet resides on.

Case 1: Inlet:
When calculating inlets, first the capacities are calculated.

If a lower threshold $T_{l,t}$ is defined:

Q_{lth}=max(0,T_{l,t}-w_{t})

If a positive inlet q Q_t is defined:

Q_{t}=\Delta t\cdot Q_{t}

If a capacity Q_total is defined:

Q_{c}=Q_{total}-\sum _{0..t-1}Q_{i}

After calculating the capacities, the actual water inflow is calculated. If any of the terms are undefined, they are not included.

Δw = max( 0 , min( Q_lth , Q_t , Q_c ) ) / A

Case 2 Outlets:
When calculating outlets, first the capacities are calculated.

If an upper threshold T_u,t is defined:

Q_uth = min( 0 , T_u,t - w_t )

If a negative inlet q Q_t is defined:

Q_t = Δt * Q_t

If a capacity Q_total is defined:

Q_c = -Q_total - ΣQ_0..t-1

After calculating the capacities, the actual water ouflow is calculated. If any of the terms are undefined, they are not included.

\Delta w={\frac {min(0,max(Q_{uth},Q_{t},Q_{c}))}{/}}{A}

Where:

Q_0..n = The calculated previous amounts of flow.
Q_lth = The desired lower water level at the inlet's location, based on the LOWER_THRESHOLD of the inlet.
Q_uth = The desired upper water level at the outlet's location, based on the outlet's UPPER_THRESHOLD of the inlet.
Q_t = The amount of water inflow (or outflow when negative) possible based on the INLET_Q of the inlet and timestep Δt.
Q_c = The total amount of water inflow (or outflow when negative) allowed based on the total capacity of the inlet.

A = Size of the inlet/outlet area in m², based on the amount of cells and cell size. Current implementation only has one cell.
Δw = The amount of water flow which takes place.
