General Program Information
This program places the baffles in the floctank at the appropriate locations. In the case of a vertical flocculator, alternating baffles are raised from the base of the floctank. The heights of the baffles change to account for headloss, and to ensure that water is flowing through the same cross-sectional area at all times. In the case of a horizontal flocculator, all baffles are drawn from the base of the flocculator and have the same height.

Technical Program Outline
1) A new layer, "baffle,"
...
is
...
created
...
to
...
draw
...
all
...
of
...
the
...
baffles
...
in.
...
2)
...
The
...
baffles
...
are
...
placed
...
iteratively
...
in
...
each
...
channel
...
from
...
left
...
to
...
right
...
of
...
the
...
floc
...
tank.
...
4)
...
All
...
of
...
the
...
baffles
...
are
...
unioned
...
as
...
one
...
object
...
to
...
allow
...
the
...
ports
...
to
...
be
...
subtracted
...
later
...
in
...
a
...
single
...
command.
...
5)
...
The
...
layer
...
is
...
set
...
to
...
"0"
...
so
...
that
...
the
...
"baffle"
...
layer
...
can
...
be
...
frozen.
...
6)
...
The
...
"baffle"
...
layer
...
is
...
frozen.
