Fluid System Analysis Setup

The Fluid Analysis Application Setup dialog is used to define setup parameters for (Time-Sequenced) Fluid System Analysis.

Time Step Sizes:

Fluid [__] minutes - defines the Fluid Flow run interval used for current run of application.  

Mixing [__] minutes - defines the time interval between successive Water Quality mixing calculations for constituent concentrations in the system based on transport mixing.  The mixing calculations update concentrations using results from the latest runs of Fluid Flow and Water Quality Reaction.

Reaction [__] minutes - defines the time interval between successive Water Quality Reaction calculations for constituent concentrations in the system based on bulk reactions.  The reaction calculations update concentrations using results from the latest runs of Fluid Flow and Water Quality Mixing.  

 

Execution Type:

Start at [__] - defines the initial time point for playback data retrieval

End at [__] - defines the final time point for playback data retrieval

Playback Time Step [__] - specifies the time period between successive data retrievals from stored data.  This defines the amount of time the user has for reviewing one time point's data set before the next time's data set is played.  

 

Time Sequence Store:

[Save] - retrieves data sets from a compliant ODBC database and stores in time-sequence text format (*.tsmdat) required for playback.  See Time Sequence Store topic for more details.

 

[Set Elevations] - runs the Set Elevations module with the associated elevation configuration file (defined by user), enabling user to attach elevations to model.
 

[OK] - accepts defined setup parameters and initiates execution of (Time-Sequenced) Fluid System Analysis.
 

[Cancel] - exits setup dialog without further execution.
