Hydrobrake Minimum Outlet and Node Diameters for Large Flowrates

We have noticed that for high Flowrates (100l/s and 380l/s) on a recent project that the Hydrobrake Min Outlet and Node Diameters do not populate and return a zero value. It is our understanding that this part of Flow is using the API provided by ...

Variable infiltration rate with depth of structure.

Particularly for the new dry swale modeling feature in V16 it would be good to be able to apply different infiltration rates at different depths. Modelling different structures with different rates is not as effective as having them within one str...

submerged outfall - HYQ data

Within Microdrainage there was a function (Save Hydorgraph (HYQ) Data) for creating a depth Hydorgraph which can then be used for Flow to calculate a submerged outfall into a flooded area, could a similar function be provided within Flow
