B.11 Conduit/2D Conduit* Properties

NameUser-assigned conduit name.
Inlet NodeName of node on the inlet end of the conduit (which is normally the end at higher elevation).
Outlet NodeName of node on the outlet end of the conduit (which is normally the end at lower elevation).
DescriptionClick the ellipsis button (or press Enter) to edit an optional description of the conduit.
TagOptional label used to categorize or classify the conduit.
ShapeClick the ellipsis button (or press Enter) to edit the geometric properties of the conduit's cross section.
Max. DepthMaximum depth of the conduit's cross section (feet or meters).
LengthConduit length (feet or meters).
RoughnessManning's roughness coefficient (see Section A.7 for closed conduit values or Section A.8 for open channel values).
Inlet OffsetDepth or elevation of the conduit invert above the node invert at the upstream end of the conduit (feet or meters).
Outlet OffsetThe depth or elevation of the conduit invert above the node invert at the downstream end of the conduit (feet or meters).
Initial FlowInitial flow in the conduit (flow units).
Maximum FlowMaximum flow allowed in the conduit (flow units) – use 0 or leave blank if not applicable.
Entry Loss Coeff.Head loss coefficient associated with energy loss at the entrance of the conduit. For culverts, refer to Table A11.
Exit Loss Coeff.Head loss coefficient associated with energy loss at the exit of the conduit. For culverts, use a value of 1.0.
Avg. Loss Coeff.Head loss coefficient is associated with energy loss along the length of the conduit.
Flap GateYES, if a flap gate exists that prevents backflow through the conduit, or NO if no flap gate exists.
Culvert CodeThe code number of inlet geometry if conduit is a culvert – leave blank otherwise. Culvert code numbers are listed in Table A10.
ActiveConduits having cross sections like ‘Rec_Open’, ‘Trapezoidal’, ‘Triangular’, ‘Parabolic’, ‘Power’, ’Irregular’ will be inactive in the 2D model, other conduits will remain active. Only active features will be used for calculation.
