Pipe Flow Advisor

The Pipe Flow Advisor interface is organized into task-specific tabs, making it straightforward for engineers to input data like Manning's coefficient, internal diameter, and fluid depth.

Frequent overflows during peak rainfall. Cause without data: “More rain than usual.” Pipe Flow Advisor analysis: Using Manning’s equation for open channel flow (partially full pipes), the advisor calculates that the slope is insufficient to maintain self-cleaning velocity (less than 2 ft/sec), allowing solids to settle. Solution: Increase pipe slope or install a liner to reduce roughness. Pipe Flow Advisor

The power of Pipe Flow Advisor lies in its diverse feature set, designed to tackle the most stubborn hydraulic problems. The Pipe Flow Advisor interface is organized into

Use a screenshot showing the software comparing a partially full pipe vs. a full pipe, or a simple diagram of Manning's equation. Solution: Increase pipe slope or install a liner

: Results are estimates based on user-provided Manning coefficients, slopes, and dimensions.

The standout feature of the software is its ability to calculate flow in open channels. By inputting the channel shape, the material (which determines the Manning’s roughness coefficient), and the slope, the software calculates the flow rate for different water depths.
