FlowMaster is an efficient
and powerful program for the design and analysis of
pipes, ditches, open channels, weirs, orifices, and
inlets. FlowMaster's interface is simple enough to make
it the easiest model you have ever used, yet so powerful
that you will be solving multiple uniform flow problems
simultaneously in minutes. Eliminate the need for
cumbersome spreadsheets and homegrown programs and
replace them with the time-saving FlowMaster.
FlowMaster is built around the concept of
worksheets—element specific calculators that allow you
to solve for any relevant variable by adjusting the
various input parameters. Create an unlimited number of
worksheets within the same file to easily document
design trials or to analyze and design multiple parts of
a project.
Using FlowMaster's comprehensive reporting capabilities,
you can quickly create summary reports or complete
records of your analysis and design. Build customized
tabular reports, graphs, cross-sectional plots,
performance curves, and rating tables to support smarter
decision-making.
Open Channel
Analysis
Design and analyze ditches and swales regardless of size
and shape using either uniform or gradually varied flow
computations. Under uniform flow, solve for discharge,
normal depth, channel dimensions, slope, or roughness,
and compare the results using different friction
methods.
Other Free Surface
Flow Elements
Analyze circular, box, elliptical, and closed irregular
channels using uniform flow or gradually varied flow
computations.
Pressure Pipe
Design
Perform a quick check or design by plugging in the known
information and automatically solving for length, start
and stop elevation or pressure, discharge, diameter, or
roughness.
Powerful
Inlet and Gutter Computations
Design and analyze grate, curb, ditch, slotted, and
combination inlets using calculations based on the FHWA
Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 12 and Circular No.
22 methodologies. You can consider in sag or on grade
conditions with a continuously or locally depressed
gutter and calculate water spread and gutter depth for a
gutter or pavement section.
Weir and
Orifice Sizing
Size and evaluate flow for rectangular, V-notch,
Cipolletti, broad crested, and custom weirs or circular,
rectangular, and custom orifices. Using the tailwater
elevation parameter, you can accurately account for
submergence.
Additional Data
Management and Design Options
FlowMaster offers dozens of features aimed at boosting
your productivity. A few of the highlights include:
Manage material types in a customizable library and
share it across all Haestad Methods applications
Solve or rate any unknown variable using the Manning's,
Hazen-Williams', Kutter's, Darcy-Weisbach, and
Colebrook-White formulas.
Exercise complete control over units (Metric or English)
and decimal precision
Manage multiple projects simultaneously and save them
for future use with the Project Explorer
