EPD-RIV1 USER’S GUIDE: DRAFT 4/10/02
In addition, a file was created externally to the pre-processor for this
example containing the cross-sectional geometric data. To include
these files in the Project, the user would select setup from the pick-list
in the Auxiliary File menu or from the Toolbar icon and then select the
appropriate files. They can then edit and evaluate the model input.
1)
Boundary Condition File: this file can now be reviewed to ensure
that it is correct. For this application, the same file was used by
both the hydrodynamic and quality model, as would typically be the
case. The user could select the file and then review it. A generic
descriptive title was created by the Deliberator, which should be
replaced by a more meaningful title by the user at this point. The
user should then review the data to ensure that they are correct. If
the user wishes to change units, or globally correct the values, they
may use the scale and conversion factors. The values used by the
model will be those estimated at a particular time (using either the
stair-stepped or interpolated values) multiplied by these tow
coefficients.
2)
Lateral Inflow File. this file can now be reviewed to ensure that it
is correct. The user should select the file and then review it. The
generic descriptive created by the Deliberator should be replaced
by a more meaningful title. If the node numbers are not correct,
they may be changed at this point. The user should then review
the data for each node that receives a lateral inflow to ensure that
they are correct. If the user wishes to change units, or globally
correct the values, they may use the scale and conversion factors
provided for each node. The values used by the model will be
those estimated at a particular time (using either the stair-stepped
or interpolated values) multiplied by these tow coefficients.
3)
Withdrawal File: the user should similarly review and edit, as
necessary, the withdrawal file.
4)
Meteorological File: the meteorological data file should also be
review and edited. When this file was created by the Deliberator, it
was not possible to enter certain information, and that information
must be added at this point. The include:
5)
The node from which and to which the meteorological data
apply. For this applicable, since only one file is used, the
beginning node will be one and the final node 18.
6)
The dust attenuation coefficient (0.12 for this example)
186
