<br />10 <br /> <br />TECHNIQUES OF WATER-RESOURCES INVESTIGATIONS <br /> <br />SEQUENCE. Number the cards (Jines) <br />used sequentially starting with a number that <br />is the card 2 sequence number. plus L <br /> <br />CARD. Card number. column 80, is 3. <br /> <br />Card 4 - Subarea Roughness Coefficients <br /> <br />The roughness coefficients for the ap- . <br />proach- section subareas are entered in pairs <br />along with two elevations. The program ac- <br />commodates up to four subareas. <br /> <br />These data allow the computer to vary n <br />linearly from D1 at the lower elevation, b~ <br /> <br />to D3" at the qpper elevatio~ a. Therefore, <br /> <br />below elevation b the roughness coefficient <br />will equal.n ; between elevations b- and a, <br />1 <br />the coefficient will vary linearly from nl to <br /> <br />n ; and above elevation a, the coefficient <br />3 <br />will equal n3' <br /> <br />Elevations b and a are to the nearest <br />foot, and a must be 1 foot or a multiple of <br />1 foot higher than b. The values of n1 and <br /> <br />n3 are the three digits to the right of the <br /> <br />decimal in Manning's D. For example: An <br />n of 0.035 would be entered as 035 with the <br />decimal implied. The values of nl and n3 <br /> <br />can be the same or either can be higher than <br />the other. A value must be entered for each <br />n1, ,D3' a, and b space of each subarea. <br /> <br />If there are fewer than four subareas, <br />leave the unused part of the card blank but <br />add the sequence number. which 'is 1 greater <br />than that on the last card 3. <br /> <br />The card number. column 80. is 4. <br /> <br />Card 5 - Discharges <br /> <br />List the selected discharges. in cfs (cubic <br />feet per second), in ascending order. Do not <br />select too Iowa discharge for wide box cul- <br />verts or for wide, relatively fiat approach <br />sections. The program can distribute the <br />flow only uniformly across a section, no <br />matter how a small flow may entrench or <br />C'hannel itself: therefore a fallacious deter- <br />Inination of supercritical now is made. <br /> <br />Express the- discharge- as whole numbers, <br />right justified. with no decimals or commas. <br /> <br />up to 99999 cfs. If less than 12 discharges <br />are desired, leave the remaining columns <br />blank and complete the sequence number <br />(previous sequence number, plus 1). The <br />discharges are. entered in columns 1-5, 7-1t, <br />13-17, 19-23, 25-29, 31-35, 37-41, 43-47, <br />49-53. 55-59, 61-65, and 67-71. <br /> <br />The card number, column 80, is 5. <br /> <br />Card 6 - Tailwater Elevations <br /> <br />List up to 10 selected tailwater elevations. <br />in feet and hundredths. in ascending order. <br />Make only the last one greater than the base <br />elevation plus D for type 4 now. For cul- <br />verts on very ste.ep slopes, this last tail water <br />elevation must be high enough to submerge <br />the inlet also; ther~fore. it is best to choose <br />it greater than the base elevation plus D + z. <br />The smallest tailwater elevation should be <br />greater than 0.04 D plus the base elevation. <br />Only one type 4 computation is required for <br />each discharge because the headwater ele- <br />vat.ion varies directly with the tailwater ele- <br />vation. See Bodhaine (1968), figure 31. <br /> <br />If option 1 (card 9, column 68) is chosen, <br />one headwater elevation is computed for each <br /><lischarge wUhout any infiuence from the tail- <br />water. Provide one tailwater elevation, <br />higher than the base elevation plus D, on <br />card 6 so the computer will be able to follow <br />the sequence of steps in the program. <br /> <br />If less than 10 tailwater elevations are <br />needed, leave the remaining columns blank <br />and complete the sequence nu'mber (previous <br />sequence number, plus 1), The 10 elevations <br />(maximum, 999.99 feet), are listed in col- <br />umns 1-6. 8-13, 15-20, 22-27, 29-34, 36- <br />41, 43-48, 50-55, 57-62, and 64-69. Fixed <br />decimals are in every seventh column start- <br />ing with column 4. <br /> <br />The card number. column 80, is 6. <br /> <br />Card 7 - Discharge Coefficients, <br />Types 1, 2, 3 <br /> <br />There are curvilinear relations between <br />the discharge coefficients, C, for fiow types <br />I, 2, and 3, and the headwater elevation. <br />The relations are approximated and the cor- <br />rect coefficient is computed from an input of <br />discharge coeffiCients corresponding to four <br />specific headwater elevations. List the net <br />coefficients after adjustment for rOunding, <br />
