Vortex Data Fields
Vortices are flow control devices used to control site discharge rates to a downstream drainage system or water course. For example, a vortex may be used to control flow from stormwater attenuation tanks in order to prevent downstream flooding. The device operates by directing flow to rotate inside a cylindrical vessel.
Vortex data can be edited on either the Vortex Grid Window of the Asset Grid or the Vortex Property Sheet.
To view and edit all vortex data, use the Property Sheet.
The following describes all the data which can be used to define a vortex.
Fields that are common to the majority of objects can be found in the Common Fields topic.
