SWMM Shapes - Power


THE Power Section of SWMM, implements open section channels, described by the function:


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

Where:

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

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.
