Overview
Module Runoff allows the calculation of the overland surface runoff over a regular structured grid as function of the water column, located over the ground level, and terrain slope. The water column is given by the Module Basin where the precipitation is converting into a water column considering the losses due to the evapotranspiration and the infiltration processes. In particular the overland flow 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^{2/3}/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>
