Flow Path Min Flow

Units: ~
Mode: Input Only
Multi-band: False
Default Value: -1E+30
Validation Rule: Any Value
Key Property: No
Description: Minimum flow on the Flow Path in any interval
Detail:

Flow Path Min Flow is the negative of the maximum flow in any interval on the Flow Path in the notional backward direction i.e. from the Flow Node To to the Flow Node From. You can also limit the flow by Hour, Day, Week, Month or Year.

Table 1: Bundle Size Example
Flow Path Property Value Units
Pipe Flow Charge 1 $
Pipe Max Flow 1000 -
Pipe Min Flow -1000 -


For the example in Table 1, the Flow Path is bi-directional with flow on 1000 allowed in either direction.

Note that positive values of Min Flow are allowed, and imply that a minimum amount of flow must occur in the notional forward direction.
