Discharge

You can select the discharge calculation to be included for the flow and for the suspended sediment fractions. Each selected component will result in a number of output items.

You can select between two types of output items:

·         Basic

·         Extended

The basic output items are as follows:

·         Discharge - volume/mass flux through the cross section

·         Acc. discharge - accumulated volume/mass flux through the cross sec­tion

The extended output items that are included in the output file in addition to the basic output items are as follows:

·         Positive discharge

·         Accumulated positive discharge

·         Negative discharge

·         Accumulated negative discharge

By definition, discharge is positive for flow towards left when positioned at the first point and looking forward along the cross-section line. The transports are always integrated over the entire water depth.
