ISISQuick Start Guide5. How to Add Weirs to the River ModelThis Chapter describes the way a user can model hydraulic structures such as weirs in ISIS.ISIS can deal with various types of hydraulic structures; the general weir unit is one of the most oftenused structures.The Figure 26 shows a simple channel with a weir built in:ChannelCross sectionWeirFigure 26. A schematic representation of a weir built into a river modelFigure 27 (Along the right hand side of the page). Visualisation of the channel with theweir between sections S3 and S5.In order to place a weir in an existing modelled reach, we first split our river reach intotwo (ending the first reach with a ‘distance to next section=0’) and place the weir betweenthe two sub-reaches. The figure on the right illustrates how this can be done in ISIS:Detailed procedures to build a weir in the channel are covered below:1. Start ISIS and start a new model (or copy an existing single reach model and adjustthe following instructions to suit).2. Build an upstream boundary condition unit, for example a flow-time unit S1 (seeChapter 2). Save the model file as the name Weir.dat.3. Prescribe the time series in the QT boundary table in the same manner as described in Steps 2 ofChapters 2 and 3 of this guide.4. Build the first river section S1 and connect it to the boundary unit S1 we have just built (asdescribed in steps 4 and 5 of the Chapter 3).5. Build sections S2, S3, and S4Up in the same manner as described in Step 9 of the Chapter 3.Please note that the S4Up has the field “distance to next section” set to 0, which means S4Up andS4Dn are same section.7. Build the weir after section S4Up and input the upstream label as S4Up and downstream labelS4Dn. To do this, either click the general purpose weir icon or select > Edit > Insert then >Structures > Weirs > Weir.Do you have any questions or remarks?

ISISQuick Start GuideFigure 28. Connection of the weir unit to the river model using the Node label editorFor the configuration of the weir parameters you should specify the elevation of the crest and thebreadth of the crest. Other parameters can be left with the default values. To do this, double click theweir unit and the Figure 29 will appear on the screen.Figure 29. Entry form for the parameters of the unit Weir8. Build sections S4Dn, S5 to S8 (cross section shapes can be same or different) as in Chapter 3.9. Build the downstream boundary condition (for example HTBDY) for the main channel S8 and link itto section S8 (as in Chapter 3).Do you have any questions or remarks?
