Flow through culverts is based on an open channel flow calculation.

The actual height of the culvert is at least the height of the terrain on either end of the culvert and the provided threshold height:

The radius of the culvert:

The height of the water column at either end of the culvert, relative to the culvert, is calculated:

Flow depth d is:

The loss coefficient for the culvert is calculated:

The hydraulic radius R_h is calculated using the formula's in the image on the right.

The potential flow through the culvert is then calculated:

Finally the actual amount of water flow is calculated:
