Structures¶
Structures (also referred to as functions) calculate the discharge between two h-grid points in a reach. Structures replace a q-grid point in the computational grid. The discharge through a structure is calculated from the water levels upstream and downstream, and the internal state of the structure.
The MIKE 1D engine includes a wide range of structures that taken together permit great flexibility in both the degree of user-intervention in flow patterns and the level of complexity of the structure.
MIKE 11 structures require a user-defined cross section to be present within “Maximum dx” (River Network Editor / Branches) from the structure.
