About the App

CulvertAnalysis

App allows for a quick analysis of various engineering problems in either english or metric units. Flows can be entered or calulated using the rational or Hydrograph methods. Flows calculated using the rational method with supplied intensties for Florida, Texas, and NOAA data. Intensity can also be entered manually to compute runoff rates. Various tools are included in the tacle box to address different type of analysis performed for different design conditions.

The backwater profile is computed using the direct step methodology for profile computations. All hydraulic calculations are based on the manning's equations. Feel free to email me if you have any questions regarding the company or the applications we produce.

The main goal of this software is to allow designers and engineers to be able to make more accurate estimates of deign conditions whether in the field, a meeting or in the office. So by the time you start finalizing a design, you will already have a head start relative to the hydraulic constraints for your specific project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of flow regimes does the app handle?

The app is set up to handle subcritical flow condition using the manning's equations undet Typical situations found in man-made drainage systems. The app will compute supercritical backwater flows in certain situations.


Can an analysis be performed in metric units?

Both english and metric units are supported within the app.


How is backwater computation performed?

The app uses the Direct Step Methodology for analysis of open channels in developing backwater curves.


How do I determine flows in channels?

The flow to analyze for hydraulic conditions can be entered or can be computed using the rational or hydrograph methodology. The rainfall intensity curves for the state of Florida and Texas are built in to allow flow computations from various basins with different hydrologic conditions. The NOAA rainfall data can be accessed and also used in the rational method.
