Overview

Module Runoff allows the calculation of the overland surface runoff over a regular structured grid as function of precipitation, infiltration and terrain slope. In particular the runoff is evaluated by the Manning’s equation.

Main Processes

The runoff is calculated by the Manning's equation as follow:

Failed to parse (unknown error): \[Q=\frac{1}{n}\cdot A\cdot R_{h}^{2/3}\cdot s^{1/2}\]


where:

Q is the flow (m^3/s)
n is the Gauckler–Manning coefficient (independent of units)
Rh Template:Pad is the hydraulic radius (m)
S is the slope of the water surface or the linear hydraulic head loss (ft/ft, m/m) (S = hf/L)

Other Features

How To Generate Manning Coefficients

Manning coefficients must be provided in runoff data file.

Options:

  • Use a constant value
  • Define a Manning's grid: One possible option is to associate Manning with land use classes (shape file). In this case can use MOHID GIS going to menu [Tools]->[Shape to Grid Data] and provide: i) the grid (model grid), ii) the land use shape file and iii) the corespondence between land use codes and Manning.

Use Manning inicialization with Module FillMatrix standards in the block:

<BeginOverLandCoefficient>
FILE_IN_TIME           : NONE
INITIALIZATION_METHOD  : ASCII_FILE
REMAIN_CONSTANT        : 1
DEFAULTVALUE           : 0.08
FILENAME               : ..\..\GeneralData\Runoff\Mannings200m_v2.dat 
<EndOverLandCoefficient>
