Example Route Data

Description

Example route data used as input to the tbsa function. Includes all four route types and corresponds to the "Francis, Kaplan and propeller w spill, gates and bypass" example in the spreadsheet model.

Usage

route_data_ex

Format

A data frame with 9 rows and 16 variables:

route_name: Unique name of a route through a project
route_prob: Probability that a fish enters each route; should sum to one.
route_type: Route type should be one of Francis, Kaplan, propeller, or bypass.
D: Nominal diameter (ft) of runner
N: Number of blades
B: Runner height (ft) at inlet
Q: Turbine discharge (cfs)
opt: Ratio of turbine discharge at best efficiency to hydraulic capacity
H: Net head on the turbine (ft)
rpm: Runner revolutions per minute
xi: Ratio between Q with no exit swirl and Qopt
lambda: Actual mortality correlation; influenced by many factors including unit type and fish species
D1: Diameter (ft) at the intake of the runner
D2: Diameter (ft) at the outlet of the runner
eta: Turbine efficiency
est_mortality: Estimated mortality for routes without turbines, e.g., gates, spillways, fishways, etc.
