📌 Purpose of the Code:
This code 🖥 calculates the flow of water that's captured by a customized inlet based on the approach flow, downstream node depth, and potential bypass. 🌊🌀
📂 Inputs:
inlet: 📍 A pointer to the inlet object.q: 🌧️ The approach flow in cfs (cubic feet per second).d: 📏 The downstream node depth.
📂 Output:
- Sends back 🚀 the captured flow in cfs.
🔍 Detailed Breakdown:
1️⃣ Initial Setup:
- Set local variables, such as the
inletposition in the design array, the number of street sides (defaulting to one ☝️), and maximum flow capture limit.
2️⃣ Flow Limit Check:
- If the inlet has a flow limit 🚫🌊, update the maximum flow capture limit (
qMax).
3️⃣ Street Sides Configuration:
- If the inlet is associated with a street 🛣️, determine if it has one or two sides and adjust the approach flow accordingly.
4️⃣ Flow Calculation Initialization:
- Set the initial captured flow to zero 🚫 and the bypassed flow equal to the approach flow.
5️⃣ Custom Curve Analysis:
- If the inlet has a custom curve associated with it 📈:
- Diversion Curve Type: Computes the captured flow based on the bypassed flow. For every replicate inlet, it updates the captured flow and reduces the bypassed flow accordingly.
- Rating Curve Type: Computes the captured flow based on the downstream node depth 📊.
6️⃣ Return Value:
- Adjust the captured flow if the street has two sides 🛣️🛣️ and then return the final captured flow value! 🌊🎉
📝 Summary: This function 🖥 is all about understanding how much water an inlet captures. Depending on the type of curve (either based on approach flow or node depth), it crunches the numbers 🧮, checks against any limits 🚫, and gives back the amount of water the inlet successfully captures. Whether it's a rainy day or water runoff, this inlet's got it covered! 🌧️🌀🎈
Hope this colorful summary with added emojis makes it engaging and fun! 🎉🌈🎈
