Calculation method
Calculation method
Net volume transport (m³/s)
Sum signed normal velocity×cell area.
Net transport (Sverdrup)
m³/s divided by1e6.
Gross absolute transport (m³/s)
Sum absolute cell transports; opposing flows do not cancel.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Section velocities, cell areas. Returns Integrated volume transport. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Section-normal velocities (m/s): minimum None, maximum 1000000000000.0. Corresponding cell cross-sectional areas (m²): minimum 0, maximum 1000000000000.0.
