How do I model a bridge scupper with a vertical drain pipe connected to the bottom of a catchbasin, to ensure that it has more capacity that the inlet?
Steps to Accomplish
Conduits in CivilStorm are assumed to be horizontal, so connecting a near-vertical conduit downstream of the catchbasin may not work well. A good option to consider is to estimate this using the orifice or weir equation (Depending on the depth of flow inside the catchbasin vault), using the size of the hole.
In the CivilStorm model, you can simply connect the catchbasin node directly to an outfall via a short conduit.
