Weirs are effectively small dams in the water, and allow water to flow from a water body with a higher water level to a lower water level. Any water exceeding the height of the weir can flow over it, increasing the throughput as the water level increases. Strictly, water can flow over the weir in either direction.

Waterwizard icon weir.png A weir is a line-based building.

Icon Key Unit Range Description Default value
Waterwizard icon weir height.png WEIR_HEIGHT m + datum -10000 to 10000 The height of the weir. Water can flow past the weir when the water level exceeds the weir's height. n/a
Waterwizard icon weir width.png WEIR_WIDTH m 0 to 10000 The width of the weir. 5
Waterwizard icon weir angle.png WEIR_ANGLE geo angle (0-360°) -1.7976931348623157E308 to 1.7976931348623157E308 The top down orientation angle of the weir. 0
Waterwizard icon weir coefficient.png WEIR_COEFFICIENT coefficient 0 to 10000 The flow coefficient related to the shape of the weir. 1,1
Waterwizard icon weir drop threshold.png WEIR_TARGET_LEVEL m + datum -10000 to 10000 The Weir can be configured to adjust it's height automatically in order to reach the target upstream water level. This parameter is optional. n/a

Notes

  • If a weir is placed in a waterway, and the waterway is not otherwise interrupted, water might be able to flow past the weir via the waterway itself. In order to obstruct the waterway, one of two options can be chosen:
    • Define the weir angle, in which case the Tygron Platform will automatically raise the DEM in the simulation based on the position, width and angle of the weir.
    • Manually raise the terrain height using the terrain height tool or applying a terrain height GeoTIFF.
  • Weirs can be read in as a point. The Tygron Platform will precompute how the weir should be modeled as a line.
