Channel-Results

The hydraulic grade, flow, and depth/rise presented in the Property Editor are the values associated with the middle section of the link. Obviously these values don't give you the full sense of what is going on, so the middle, start, and stop values are also available through the FlexTables, and you can also look at the profile. (For more information, see Viewing and Editing Data in FlexTables and Using Profiles.)

Channel-Result Attributes

Attribute Description
Flow Representative calculated flow in the channel. The flow is calculated in the middle section of the channel. This is a calculated results field and is not editable.
Velocity Representative calculated velocity of the flow in the channel. The velocity is calculated in the middle section of the channel. This is a calculated results field and is not editable.
Is Overflowing? (Start) Is true if the HGL at the upstream end of the link goes above its crown level during current time step. For the open channel section, the SewerGEMS Dynamic Wave solver does not compute overflow when the HGL exceeds the maximum depth but the Is flooding? attribute will be marked True.
Is Overflowing? (Stop) Is true if the HGL at the downstream end of the link goes above its crown level during current time step. For the open channel section, the SewerGEMS Dynamic Wave solver does not compute overflow when the HGL exceeds the maximum depth but the Is flooding? attribute will be marked True.
Ever Overflowing/Surcharged? Is true if HGL ever goes above crown over the course of the simulation.
Froude Number Ratio of velocity to the square of the depth of flow times gravity.
Sections Results Lets you view the calculated flow variables at the start, middle and end of the channel section. Clicking the Ellipses (...) button displays the Sections Results dialog box.
Pollutants Collection Lets you view calculated results for pollutants. Clicking the Ellipses (...) button displays the Pollutants Results dialog box.
