Hello.

I am simulating a simple open channel flow and I succeeded in it.
However there is a thing that I cannot do.

I would like to initialize the solution with a know water surface. The profile has to be linear, and connect the water surface at the inlet with that at the outlet, whose values are imposed in the boundary conditions. I tried in different ways, but the only thing that I can do is to create an horizontal water surface, starting or from the inlet or from the outlet. But I want a non-horizontal water surface, connecting the two known water depths.

Thank you for your help
Regards
