<br />. <br /> <br />AUTOMATIC COMPUTATION OF STAGE-DISCHARGE RELATIONS AT CULVERTS 21 <br /> <br />-- <br />. <br /> <br />ONLY ONE TAILWATER ELEVATION <br />SHOULD BE GREATER THAN OR EQUAL <br />TO BASE ELEV, + D. <br /> <br />HP-x IS NOT IN INCREASING ORDER. <br /> <br />HP-4 SHOULD BE GREATER THAN OR <br />EQUAL TO 1.5*0+ Z ELEV. <br /> <br />H5-x IS NOT IN ASCENDING ORDER. <br /> <br />H5-1 SHOULb BE LESS THAN OR <br />EQUAL TO 1. 5*D + Z ELEV, <br /> <br />H5-4 SHOULD BE GREATER THAN OR <br />EQUAL TO 5.0*0 + Z ELEV. <br />, <br /> <br />TC SHOULD BE 1, 2, or 3. <br /> <br />Z ELEV. SHOULD BE GREATER THAN <br />OR EQUAL TO WOo <br /> <br />B SHOULD BE GREATER THAN 0... . . <br />Explanation: Refers to widthb on card 9. <br /> <br />N SHOULD BE GREATER THAN O. <br /> <br />L SHOULD BE GREATER THAN O. <br /> <br />KT, KW. KR. AND CB12 SHOULD BE <br />POSITIVE FOR TC=2. <br /> <br />KT, KW, KR, AND CB12 SHOULD BE <br />ZERO FOR TC=1 OR TC=3. <br /> <br />CAL SHOULD BE 0 OR 1. <br /> <br />Computational Messages <br /> <br />The third category of messages is gener- <br />ated during the computational phase of the <br />program, and usually describes why no solu- <br />tion is obtained for the stage-discharge re- <br />lation. <br /> <br />DISCHARGE NOT IN THE RANGE OF <br />CRITICAL DISCHARGES... Q = qqqqq. qq. . . . . <br />Explanation: The discharge shown is less <br />than the critical discharge, Q , at the lowest <br />c <br />water- surface elevation. W . at the approach <br />o <br />section. The next discharge is then tried. <br />If a solution is desired for the rejected Q, <br />then W should be lowered. <br />o <br /> <br />qqqqq. q NO SOLUTION TYPE ONE <br />FLOW. .. .. Explanation: Headwater ele- <br />vation, HI, is greater than 1.5 0 + z for <br />the discharge shown. <br /> <br />qqqqq. q NO SOLUTION TYPE ONE <br />FLOWnSUPERCRITICAL FLOW AT AP- <br />PROACH SECTION..... Explanation: Head- <br />water elevation. HI, is less than the ele- <br />vation for critical discharge, or neither type <br />1 nor type 5 flow can occur at the discharge <br />shown. <br /> <br />qqqqq.q TYPE 2 ENERGY EQUATIONS <br />NOT BALANCED..... Explanation: Type <br />2 flow cannot occur at the discharge shown. <br /> <br />qqqqq. q NO SOLUTION TYPE TWO <br />FLOW--SUPERCRITICAL FLOW AT AP- <br />PROACH SECTION.".. Explanation: The <br />area of the approach section at the elevation <br />of d2 + z is zero, or the discharge shown is <br /> <br />greater than- critical discharge at the com- <br />puted headwater elevation. <br /> <br />qqqqq. q NO SOLUTION TYPE FIVE <br />FLOW..... Explanation: Type 5 flow does <br />not occur' betw-een headwater elevations at <br />1. 5 D + z and 5. 00 + z, for the discharge <br />shown. <br /> <br />qqqqq. q NO SOLUTION TYPE THREE <br />FLOW. . . .. Explanation: Type 3 flow does <br />not occur between headwater elevations at <br />d2 + z and 1. 5 0 + z for the discharge shown. <br /> <br />The tailwater elevation will be printed. <br /> <br />qqqqq. q TYPE 5 H NOT IN THE <br />RANGE OF H5,.... H= hhh. hhhh..... Ex- <br />planation: This is a warning that for the dis- <br />charge shown. the indicated trial headwater <br />elevation is less than H5-1 or greater than <br />H5-4, as they are listed on card 8. A type 5 <br />solution is then printed using a discharge <br />coefficient equal to C5-1 or C5-4. <br /> <br />TYPE X CANNOT INTERPOLATE <br />COEFFICIENT--HEIGHT = hhhhh.hhhh..... <br />Explanation: The trial headwater elevCltion <br />shown is less than HP-l or greater than <br />HP-4 on card 7. No solution is possible. so <br />the next discharge is tried. <br /> <br />TYPE X CANNOT INTERPOLATE <br />CONVEY ANCE-- HEIGHT = hhhhh. hhhh. . . . . <br />Explanation: The trial headwater elevation <br />shown is outside the range of elevations at <br />the approach section. If flow is type 1. the <br />next discharge is tried. For type 2 flow, the <br />message, "NO SOLUTION TYPE TWO FLOW <br />--SUPERCRITICAL FLOW AT APPROACH <br />SECTION:' is printed. If flow is type 3, the <br />next tailwater elevation is tried. <br />
