Surface Flow¶
Surface flow inflows inject water along a line at a specified volumetric flow rate.
Properties¶
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
type |
string | Must be "Surface" |
data |
string | Flow rate in m^3/s |
Usage¶
Surface inflows are drawn as LineString features. The flow rate is distributed along the line.
This injects 0.5 m^3/s along the line for the entire simulation.
How it works¶
Internally, surface inflow lines are applied as ANUGA Inlet_operator instances. The line must be within the domain boundary — lines outside the boundary are silently ignored.
Tip
Surface inflows are useful for modelling pipe outfalls, creek inflows, or other point/line sources of water entering the domain.
