Water Quality
Bifurcation Water Quality
The bifurcation has water quality methods simply to pass information upstream or downstream.
Slots
The following slots are instantiated based on the selected constituents
Note: All slots on the bifurcation are dispatch slots.
Salinity Slots
Inflow Salt Concentration
Type: Multi Slot
Units: Concentration
Description: holds the values of inflow salinity for the bifurcation
Information: There should be one link/column per column in the Inflow slot (or an error is posted at run start). Because this slot is a multi slot, more than one link can be created to this slot which will add columns to the slot. The first column is the sum of the other columns but does not represent the inflow concentration. The dispatch methods perform a weighted average to determine the weighted concentration, but this is not displayed in the slot.
I/O: Input, output, propagated, or rules
Links: Can be linked to a salt concentration on any other object.
Inflow Salt Mass
Type: Series Slot
Units: Mass
Description: holds the values of inflow salt mass for the bifurcation
I/O: Output only
Links: Should not be linked; link concentrations instead.
Outflow1 Salt Concentration
Type: Series Slot
Units: Concentration
Description: holds the values of Outflow1 salt mass for the bifurcation
I/O: Output only
Links: Can be linked to a salt concentration on any other object.
Outflow1 Salt Mass
Type: Series Slot
Units: Mass
Description: holds the values of Outflow1 salt mass for the bifurcation
