Initial Conditions Generates the initial conditions

State of the variables at the beginning of the simulation.
  • dry: Zero values
  • h+z uniform: All the cells with the same water level
  • Q uniform: Steady state corresponding to the discharge.
  • h uniform: All the cells with the same depth.
  • Dambreak Discontinuity at a given location

Initial condition

Boundary Conditions Configuration of the inlet and outlet

The Upstream boundary condition determines the inlet condition. The Downstream boundary condition provides the outlet condition.

Upstream condition

Determines de inlet condition.

Downstream condition

Determines de outlet condition.


Gates Configuration of the regulation elements

Defines regulation elements such as lateral gates and cross gates with their location, width and discharge coefficient. They can be regulated using PID control.
