SWMM Shapes - Parabolic


THE Parabolic Section of SWMM, implements parabolic section channels.


c = MaxSecDepth / (TopWidth / 2) ^ Exponent
y(x) = c * x ^ 2 - MaxSecDepth

Where:

The geometry properties relevant to this section are the Maximum Width and the Maximum Height:

In SOLIDOS, the user must implement properties in the device constructor that describes that section, for example:


Note: You can use the section generated by this activity to model the inner tube section and also to define the Hydraulic Section of the linear device, as this is a mandatory property for dimensioning.
