Valve With Linear Area Change Attributes

  • ID: Unique identifier assigned to this element.
  • Label: Descriptive label for this element.
  • Notes: Additional information about this element.
  • GIS-IDs: List of associated IDs on the GIS/data-source side.
  • Hyperlinks: Associate one or more web link, photo, word processing document, or other file with this element.
  • Status (Initial): Choices: Active, Closed
  • Specify Local Minor Loss?: If true then the minor coefficent for the element is manually set, otherwise the value is derived from the minor loss library.
  • Minor Losses: List of all associated minor losses associated with the element, and can be used to generate the composite minor loss coefficient.
  • Diameter (Valve): Inside diameter of the valve. Used to calculate the velocity through the valve and a corresponding minor loss when a minor loss coefficient is entered.
  • Status (Initial, Transient): Choices: Active, Closed
  • Elevation: Elevation at centroid of junctions, valves, and pumps; the ground elevation at tanks; the hydraulic grade at reservoirs.
  • Concentration (Initial): Specify the initial concentration for the global concentration at the selected element.
  • Age (Initial): Specify the initial age of the fluid at the selected element.
  • Installation Year: Specify the install year of the element. It does not affect the calculations.
  • Trace (Initial): Specify the initial trace amount at the current location.
  • Zone: Specify the zone for the element.
  • Flow: Total flow through the valve.
  • Velocity: Velocity of flow traveling through the valve.
  • Headloss: Change in head across the valve.
  • Pressure Loss: Change in pressure across the valve.
  • Hydraulic Grade (From): Calculated hydraulic grade at the entrance of the valve.
  • Hydraulic Grade (To): Calculated hydraulic grade at the exit of the valve.
  • Pressure (From): Calculated pressure at the entrance of the valve.
  • Pressure (To): Calculated pressure at the exit to the valve.
  • Flow (Absolute): Magnitude of flow through the selected valve.
  • Status (Calculated): Choices: Active, Inactive, Closed
  • Minor Loss Coefficient (Unified): Displays the current minor loss value for the element, depending on whether its derived or local.
  • Age (Calculated): Age at selected element for current time step.
  • Trace (Calculated): Trace at selected element for current time step.
  • Concentration (Calculated): Concentration at selected element for current time step.
  • Has Calculation Messages Now?: If true then the current element has associated calculation warning messages for the current time step.
  • Is Closed?: True if the current element is closed during the current time step.
  • Is Open?: Set to true if open during the current time step.
  • Is Initially Closed?: If true, the initial condition for the control element is "Closed" or "Off."
  • Controlled?: Is true if a control action in the current control set references the selected element.
  • Cannot Deliver Flow or Head?: If true then the cannot deliver head or cannot deliver flow warning was generated for the element for the current time step.
  • Head (Maximum, Transient): Maximum head at node over the course of the transient simulation.
  • Head (Minimum, Transient): Minimum head at node over the course of the transient simulation.
  • Pressure (Maximum, Transient): Maximum pressure at node over the course of the transient simulation.
  • Pressure (Minimum, Transient): Minimum pressure at node over the course of the transient simulation.
  • Air Volume (Maximum, Transient): Maximum air volume at node over the course of the transient simulation. Not applicable to Reservoirs and Rating curves.
  • Vapor Volume (Maximum, Transient): Maximum vapor volume at node over the course of the transient simulation. Not applicable to Reservoirs and Rating curves.
