Using the standalone versions of Hydraflow Express, Stormsewers, Hydrogragphs. Also had easy access to the Civil 3D extensions, but haven't used them yet.
Trapezoidal channel, and the cross-section stays the same for the length of the channel. Due to site restrictions, the alignment cannot be modified much- one edge sits on the property line, tying into the existing contours. The other end is adjacent to a soil buttress that is part of a slope stabilization. The channel slope varies along the flow path of the channel.
I thought there was some way to model this uniform geometry trapezoidal channel with changing bottom slope in Hydraflow. I need to determine velocity, freeboard, and hydraulic jump locations to complete my design and prepare the design report.
Any thoughts on how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
