WMS:GSSHA Feature Nodes: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:04, 25 July 2024

Feature points and nodes in GSSHA have several attributes that can be modified. The Properties dialog allows modification of the various attributes of feature arcs.

WMS automatically assigns the correct type (generic, link break, or junction) to each point/node based on the type of feature arcs connected to the node, although the point/node type is not displayed in the dialog. This dialog for feature points and nodes in GSSHA lists the various attributes associated with each feature point or note.

This dialog is accessed either by double-clicking on a feature point or node or by selecting the Feature Objects | Attributes... menu command while in the Map module. Most of the attributes can be changed in this dialog, or by clicking a button in this dialog to open a separate dialog. The options for feature arcs are described in the GSSHA Feature Arcs article.

+Feature points and nodes in GSSHA have several attributes that can be modified. The ''Properties'' dialog allows modification of the various attributes of feature arcs.
-The ''Coverage Properties'' dialog is where the attributes associated with feature points/nodes on the GSSHA coverage are defined. WMS automatically assigns the correct type (generic, link break, or junction) to each point/node based on the type of feature arcs connected to the node, although the point/node type is not displayed in this dialog. It is possible to change the feature type attributes that are displayed in the table, select whether to show attributes for all features or just the selected features, and to filter the data shown in the table based on specific attribute values.

+This dialog is accessed either by double-clicking on a feature point or node or by selecting the ''Feature Objects'' | '''Attributes...''' menu command while in the '''Map''' module. Most of the attributes can be changed in this dialog, or by clicking a button in this dialog to open a separate dialog. The options for feature arcs are described in the [[WMS:GSSHA Feature Arcs|GSSHA Feature Arcs]] article.
-There are several overland flow BC options that can be specified for points and nodes in the GSSHA coverage.  These include the following:
-* Constant slope
+==''Properties'' Dialog==
-* Constant stage

-* Variable stage
-* Variable flow (cms)
-* Variable flow (cfs)
-* Head difference rating curve
-* Depth rating curve
-* Receiving cell
-If the ''Head difference rating curve'' option is selected, define a relationship between the BC cell/receiving cell head difference and the discharge to the receiving cell.  If the ''depth rating curve'' option is selected, its necessary to define a relationship between the depth in the BC cell and the discharge to the receiving cell.  The relationship is defined in the WMS ''XY Series Editor''.  In either case, define one or more receiving cells.

+;Link
+:The link number, assigned by WMS to nodes that have hydraulic structures defined. Not user editable.
-For example, consider the following diagram where there is one cell with a head difference rating curve BC and two receiving cells:

+;Hydrograph output
+:Turning on this option outputs a hydrograph for the outlet cell location to the OTL file. GSSHA can output hydrographs at specific nodes to the *.ohl file.
-This example shows a correct use of the new point boundary conditions in WMS.  If one of the rating curve BC’s does not have an adjacent receiving cell, WMS shows a message that says something like the following when running the GSSHA model checker: '''''WARNING: The grid cell at I=34 and J=73 does not have an adjacent receiving cell.'''''
+;Sediment output
+:If the ''Soil Erosion'' option is selected in the [[WMS:GSSHA Job Control|''GSSHA Job Control'' dialog]], this option can be used to tell GSSHA to output the sediment load versus time at this location to the OSL file.
-===Hydraulic Structures===
+;Groundwater BC
-Click on the '''Hydraulic Structures''' button to define hydraulic structures which exist in the GSSHA stream network. Link-break type nodes on GSSHA stream arcs (trapezoidal or cross-section) are used for defining known points of control and modification of the stream flow by in-stream hydraulic structures such as weirs and culverts. Hydraulic structures are represented as a separate link in the stream network in GSSHA. As such, if a feature node does not exist where a hydraulic structure exists, a feature node (with the link-break type) must be placed there.
+:A drop-down of groundwater boundary conditions for modeling groundwater interaction. See [[WMS:GSSHA Groundwater|GSSHA Groundwater]] for more information.
+*"Generic" &ndash; No special boundary is desired. The default option.
+*"Constant Head" &ndash; Groundwater level in the cell remains constant during the simulation. Value taken from the initial values assigned.
+*"Static Well" &ndash; The cell will have a source/sink term of constant rate. Makes the ''Pump rate (m<sup>3</sup>/s)" column appear.
+*"Dynamic Well" &ndash; Indicates that a dynamic, temporally varying, pumping well exists in the cell.  Makes the ''Pump rate" column appear.
+;Pump rate (m<sup>3</sup>/s)
+:Enter a decimal daily pump rate in m<sup>3</sup>/s.
-There are four main types of hydraulic structures: detention basins (lakes), weirs, culverts, and implicit defined structures. Any number of lakes, weirs, culverts, and/or curves may be specified together, but with only one instance of each curve type allowed.
+;Pump rate
+:Click '''Pump Rate''' to bring up the [[WMS:XY Series Editor|''XY Series Editor'' dialog]]. This allows a time varying pump rate to be entered.
