Gutters in the SewerCAD Gradually Varied Flow Solver

When computing with the GVF-Convex (SewerCAD) Solver, gutter surface flows are ignored and not computed. Inlet capture calculations are not performed, and catchbasin nodes are treated as if they were a 'Full Capture' inlet type (see ”Inlet Type’). Therefore, no bypass gutter flow exists. This also means that, like manholes, catchments with a catch basin outflow node accept all runoff.
