AEA1 can give a different result than Philadelphia PreDredge, even though they are both Average End Area methods!ĬS&V does not create data or extrapolate trends. In the figure above: V = L * (A1 + A2) / 2. The resulting volume would be less than the actual amount. V23 = 100*(A2+A3)/2 V34 = 100*(A3+A4)/2 Since A3 is less than it should be, the volume quantity will also be less.

It might be more accurate to leave Line 3 out of the computation. V24 = 200*(A2+A4)/2 Better overall result if the sectional profiles are similar.įor Interior Data Gaps: CS&V interpolates the soundings across the internal gap to compute volume quantities. CS&V colors the area, to indicate it has been included in volume computations. CS&V does not draw a solid line (black in example) across the profile, indicating the gap in the data is larger than the user- defined gap distance. 2 2 4 4ġ5 Differing Coverage Before Dredge versus After Dredge Data No solid profile line means you have a data gap!ġ4 Testing for Gaps Click ‘Graph Options – Data’.ġ 1 Click ‘Graph Options – Data’. Only Where Both Surveys Have Data: Computes areas only where ‘before’ and ‘after’ section overlap. #Cross sections in hypack full#įull Length of Before Survey (not recommended): Computes areas based on limits of before survey. Differences between the volume results in HYPACK and other packages can result based on how the other package handles the problem of unequal coverage.ĬS&V does not care if your lines intersect. CS&V does not care if there are turns in the channel between lines. Creating lines perpendicular to the channel centerline can exaggerate these errors. “Smart Corners” option in CHANNEL DESIGN gives a better result.

Placing a line at the centerline points also reduces errors.ġ7 Templates A Template (*.TPL) defines the cross section design profile for each section.
