Branches may be assigned a flow capacity [Volume per time] that can never be exceeded (relevant for pipes and closed channels). The flow capacity is restricting the flow leaving a River node. To model flow capacity in an entire river Branch, flow capacity must be specified for all River nodes in that Branch.
To add a flow capacity time series, enable ‘has flow capacity’ and click on the
button and click on Browse... to select an existing flow capacity time series or click on Create a new file… to open the Create a new dfs0 file dialogue.
If the flow capacity of a Branch is reached, the model will attempt to force the water in an alternative direction. If this is not possible, the simulation will terminate with a message.
