Reservoir

fixed head source

A fixed-head boundary: an infinite source/sink that holds a constant hydraulic head regardless of flow. The classic reference datum.

เมื่อไรจึงใช้
  • A large body of water, a header at known pressure, or any point where head does not change with the flow you draw.
  • You need a reference so the rest of the network solves.

Total head / elevationThe fixed head (m) held at the node — elevation plus any surface pressure head.
Fluid overrideOptional — inherit the system fluid or pin a per-node fluid.
คำนวณอย่างไร

The head at a reservoir is prescribed (a Dirichlet boundary). The global matrix fixes this node and solves flows and heads everywhere else against it.

สมการ
Prescribed head
z = surface elevation, pₛ = surface pressure (0 for an open reservoir). Held fixed regardless of flow drawn.
