pyorc.CrossSection.get_wetted_surface_sz

CrossSection.get_wetted_surface_sz(h: float) → Polygon

Retrieve a wetted surface perpendicular to flow direction (SZ) for a water level, as a geometry.Polygon.

This is a useful method for instance to estimate m2 wetted surface for a given water level in the cross section.

Parameters:

h (float) – water level [m]

Returns:

Wetted surface as a polygon, in Y-Z projection.

Return type:

geometry.Polygon
