The GSSHA model makes use of the simulation based modeling approach. This requires defining coverages in the Map module to build the components for use in the GSSHA simulation.

A GSSHA simulation makes use of the following coverage types:

  • Boundary Conditions

Boundary Conditions Coverage

The GSSHA Boundary Condition map coverage allows setting boundary condition properties for feature arcs and feature points.

Arc Properties

To assign boundary conditions properties to arcs, select an arc, then double-click on it.

Example of GSSHA Arc Properties dialog
  • Channel – User defines the channel properties here.
    • Channel type – Choose channel type here.
      • "Trapezoidal" – Trapezoidal channels are used to define channel routing in GSSHA models. SMS automatically assigns a link number to trapezoidal channel arcs.
        • Manning's n (MANNINGS_N): – Manning's n roughness coefficient. Enter the Manning's n integer for trapezoidal channels here.
        • Depth (m) (BANKFULL_DEPTH): – The maximum depth of the channel represented by the GSSHA feature arc in meters.
        • Bottom width (m) (BOTTOM_WIDTH): – The width of the bottom of the channel in meters.
        • Side slope (H:V) (SIDE_SLOPE): – The horizontal value to one unit of vertical rise.
      • "Cross-section" – The profile of irregular cross sections are defined using XY coordinate pairs.
        • Manning's n (MANNINGS_N): – Manning's n roughness coefficient. Enter the Manning's N integer for cross-sections here.
        • Cross section: – Click below to define the cross section by inputting or importing data.
    • Most downstream arc of stream network – Turning this on assigns one arc as the most downstream and directs all flow from other arcs towards the selected arc.
    • Output hydrograph at downstream end – Turning this on will allow creation of a hydrograph at the downstream end.
    • Specify point source at upstream end – Turning this on will specify one
