open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

I am trying to model a system of pumps which are triggered by water levels in adjacent rivers. e.g. When H(River A).GT.5D0 Then start pumping.

I have seen that in other threads the usual recommendations are to use source points, one positive & one negative. Since these particular pumps are not time dependent, can the function DEBSCE be changed to be triggered by water levels in the domain?

Or is there a much simpler answer to this problem? Can I just change the water depth of assigned points within the fortran file? i.e. H%R(N) = 1.D0 (N - Global Number)

Thankyou.

Hi
You could do want you want in DEBSCE.

I don't understand what you mean by changing the water depth... It seems to me dangerous...

In the area I am modelling, pumps are used to move water from surrounding moors back in the rivers which are encompassed by levees.

When the depth of the water reaches the point of overtopping these levees the pumps stop working as the rivers are at full capacity.

I will look into DEBSCE in which case.

With the changing water depth; Within the Fortran file, I was hoping to create IF (CONDITION_MET) THEN (increase the volume of water at one point whilst subtracting the same volume from another point)

For the volume solution, it sounds me complex as it's mesh dependent so you have to use FE basis to compute volume...
The pump management will be easier with some local programming in debsce.
