Flow Divider Nodes

  • Cutoff Divider: Diverts all inflow above a defined cutoff value

  • Overflow Divider: Diverts all inflow above the flow capacity of the non-diverted conduit

  • Tabular Divider: Uses a table that expresses diverted flow as a function of total inflow

  • Weir Divider: Uses a weir equation to compute diverted flow

Qdiv=Cw(fHw)1.5Q_{{div}} = C_w \left(f H_w\right)^{1.5}

Where QdivQ_{{div}} is diverted flow, CwC_w is Weir coefficient, HwH_w is Weir height and ff is computed as:

f=QinQminQmaxQminf = \frac{Q_{{in}} - Q_{{min}}}{Q_{{max}} - Q_{{min}}}

Where QinQ_{in} is the inflow to the divider, QminQ_{min} is the flow at which diversion begins, and

Qmax=Cw(Hw)1.5Q_{max} = C_w ({{H_w}})^{1.5}

The user-specified parameters for the weir divider are QminQ_{min}, HwH_w, and CwC_w.
