  4. Sub-area/Reach Concepts • Watershed - system of sub-areas and reaches • Sub-areas- generate runoff • feed into the upstream end of reaches • Reachesor Routing Elements- represent watershed stream flow paths or structures • ChannelRouting elements - Stream Reaches • StructureRouting elements - Reservoir/Structure Reaches • Watershed Outlet- downstream end of the watershed (required for all watersheds) TR-55 Tutorial

  5. Sub-areaA Reach 1a(storage routing) Sub-area B Sub-areaC Reach 2c (Reach Routing) Legend: Storage Area Sub-Area Inflow Points Outlet Schematics TR-55 Tutorial

  6. Data Requirements • Identification Data - User, State, and County • Dimensionless Unit Hydrograph • Storm Data – for specific County/State • Sub-area Data - Name, flows to reach/outlet, area, runoff curve number, & time of concentration • Reach Data -Name, receiving reach/outlet, reach length, Manning’s “n”, friction slope, bottom width, average side slopes TR-55 Tutorial

  17. Plotted Channel Rating TR-55 Tutorial

  18. Computing Stream Reach Ratings • Manning’s Equation for Channel Flow: Q = discharge (cu ft/s) r = hydraulic radius = A/pw A = cross-sectional flow area (sq ft) pw = wetted perimeter (ft) s = slope of hydraulic grade line (channel slope, ft/ft) n = Manning’s roughness coefficient for open channel flow TR-55 Tutorial

  39. Drop Inlet Pipe TR-55 Tutorial

  40. Pipe Flow Equations where: g = gravity cd =0.6 Height, feet Headpipe,feet Stage, feet Dpipe ,inches Apipe,square feet Flowpipe,cfs TR-55 Tutorial

  41. Pipe Flow Assumptions • Short-tube approximation – assumes orifice flow through the pipe at all stages • Reasonable for drop inlet configuration • May be unreasonable for large straight pipes • If not appropriate, use other routing models • SITES • WinTR-20 TR-55 Tutorial
