How to calculate flow in QGis

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to measure the discharge water of a section with QGis. I tried it with Crayfisch and Profiletool and doesn't find a solution.

Regards.

Re: How to calculate flow in QGis

Hi BHW,

This can be done in BASEMENT - but not in Postprocessing using QGIS/Crayfish.

Before starting your simulation, you have to define nodestrings - called 'stringdefs' - in the command file and activate 'stringdef_history' as output.
There are several output options for stringdef_history, for example the water discharge, the sediment discharge mean velocity or mean water surface elevation.

Would this work for you?

OK,
I wanted to try to show the evolution of the water discharge during the animation generate by Crayfisch but I will find an other solution.

Thanks for the answer.
