Figure 80:
Channel geometry
 |
The straight channel is characterized by a trapezoid cross section, the bottom
width of which can be defined to vary linearly. This is illustrated in Figure
80. The following constants have to be specified on the
line beneath the *FLUID SECTION,TYPE=CHANNEL STRAIGHT card:
- the width
- the slope
- the length
- the trapezoid angle
- the grain diameter
for the White-Colebrook law or the Manning
constant
for the Manning law (in the latter case the user has to specify
the parameter MANNING on the *FLUID SECTION card)
- the number of the upstream reference element
Example files: channel1, chanson1.
