About this software subscription: This Virtuoso Subscription includes a 12-month practitioner license of this software, that comes with Keys (credits) to unlock training and services.
OpenFlows Hydraulic Toolset is a powerful and easy-to-use hydraulic calculator software that helps engineers solve design challenges for individual hydraulic components—as opposed to the entire network model, which is better analyzed in OpenFlows Water, Sewer, or Storm.
For hydraulic elements—such as open channels, pipes, roadway inlets, gutters, orifices, and weirs—the software’s hydraulic analysis capabilities help engineers quickly calculate depth, flow, side slope, discharge rate, and roughness required. Engineers can specify the element property to solve for, and instantly see results for other properties as well, including velocity, hydraulic radius, Froude number, etc.
- Improve design productivity and reduce project costs
- Solve real problems in minutes with a user-friendly interface
- Produce detailed reports, rating curves, and flow profiles
The software’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)-approved culvert analysis capabilities streamline complicated culvert hydraulics. These features accommodate everything from single-barrel culvert crossings to complex embankment cross-drain systems with multiple barrels of varying shapes, sizes, and entrance types, special tailwater considerations, and roadway overtopping. Culverts can be automatically sized for a specified maximum headwater and flow.
- Deliver robust, report-ready culvert designs
- Evaluate existing culverts and compare numerous design options
- Organize all the designs and analyzes for the same project within a single file
Design and Analyze Any Type of Hydraulic Element
Pipe Design Solver can solve for your specified pipe length, start and stop elevation, pressure, discharge, diameter, or roughness.
Inlet and Gutter Hydraulic Calculator is based on Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 22 methodologies, and includes grate, curb, combination, ditch, and slotted-drain inlets for both on-grade and in-sag installations.
Open-channel Hydraulics Calculator solves for discharge, capacity, normal depth, gradually varied flow profile, channel dimensions, slope, or roughness, allowing the user to choose a weighted roughness method.
Weir and Orifice Calculators can be used to evaluate and size rectangular, broad-crested, V-notch, and Cipolletti weir types, as well as rectangular, circular, and generic orifice structures.
Quick Culvert Calculator provides calculations for simple culverts with known characteristics.
Culvert Analyzer can be used for more complex systems with roadway overtopping and multiple barrels of different shapes and sizes.
Culvert Design Calculator can be used to easily compare hydraulic performance for multiple design options. Culvert computations use the widely accepted U.S. FHWA’s Hydraulic Design of Highway Culverts (HDS-5) Methodologies.
OpenFlows Hydraulic Toolset includes the capabilities of OpenFlows CulvertMaster and OpenFlows FlowMaster.
