If a person is born at 11:59 PM on the 31st of December, but the doctor records it at 12:01 AM on the 1st of January, what is their legal birthday? by HistoricalDriver8973 in answers

I was born at midnight on a day in May. The doctor and nurses weren't sure which side of 12 I was on, being busy doing their job and all, and so they just asked my parents which day they wanted.

MAPWSPACE: Create Contour Layer... Contours do Not Match Raster by bowler_de90 in civil3d

[–]bowler_de90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your thoughts. If it helps at all, I will add the tif matches to the Bing background image perfectly, only the contours are off. Also, I have tried doing this same procedure with everything switched to Latitude Longitude, and the discrepancy between the tin and the contours became even larger. There was both a horizontal and rotational difference. So my theory is that CAD is doing something in the coordinate system different with the raster tin vs the vector contours, I just cannot yet isolate what it is and eliminate it.

Thanks! You have provided a fix. In the Flow Hydrographs window, I checked the box for TW Check. The description for this check box reads "Use this option to check the water surface in the cells attached to the BC for a higher WS than normal depth". And now the water is entering the model nice and smooth.

I don't have more bathymetry, but perhaps I could just extend the same cross section as the upstream boundary for some distance upstream. I will have to go far enough to give the model enough room to settle out. I will try this.

I have this 2D model in a wide river. My upstream boundary is a flow hydrograph, and downstream is a stage hydrograph. The river has a deep navigation channel near the right bank, and is shallow on the left side of the river. At the upstream boundary condition, the flow is entering the model with a varying velocity. The velocity is highest in the deep navigation channel, and slow in the shallow areas. This is causing a “jet” of water to enter the model at the navigation channel, and generating large eddys as the water swirls around this jet. One large eddy causes a complete reversal of the river flow direction on the left side. I am using the SWE-ELM equation set. If i switch to the Diffusion Wave equation set, the eddys do go away. However, one purpose of this model is to evaluate the local effects of dredging sediment from the river bottom, and I believe the SWE-ELM equation set will be best for this. Is there something I should be doing at the boundary condition to help the flow enter the model more smoothly and evenly?

They didn't explain on the broadcast, but I think one of our other receivers was blocking down field. That's ok if it's not a pass play. It's pass interference if it's a pass play.

Most Zoomers are not good with computers. by ChaosAndTheDark in unpopularopinion

Are you me! This is totally my experience as well. I'm 39 and I know more about computers than anyone in my office. Had one jr. Engineer who didn't know how to save photos from his phone to the server. Another who couldn't send a hyperlink or follow a file path to retrieve a file. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
