name | anything can go in here |
dt | time interval in minutes or hours to use in the routing of this hydrograph |
Tl | time limit in minutes or hours at which to terminate the routing if not already stopped |
file | the name of the text file with the curve values it, in units of minutes or hours and and cubic feet per second |
route | indicates whether this hydrograph will be routed |
hrs | indicates whether the time units for this hydrograph are in hours. Default is minutes. |
This is a generic performance curve representing a hydrograph. Similar to the curve for a structure, the text file must be of the form:
...Curve:
time(min) flow(cfs)
1.0 4.23
1.2 5.13
3 4.2
7.0 10
...
The program looks for the key word "Curve:", followed by a header line, which is ignored, and the sequence of value pairs. A blank line ends the reading of values.
