Solve Design Challenges and Analyze Hydraulic Elements Quickly and Easily

Bentley’s OpenFlows Hydraulic Toolset is a robust and user-friendly software suite designed to address specific hydraulic component design challenges. Unlike comprehensive network analysis tools such as OpenFlows Water, OpenFlows Sewer, or OpenFlows Storm, this toolset focuses on rapid calculations for individual hydraulic elements, enhancing both productivity and cost-efficiency


Efficient Design and Analysis
• Streamlined Calculations: Quickly solve design issues for hydraulic components including open channels, pipes, inlets, gutters, orifices, and weirs.
• Instant Results: Specify properties for elements like depth, flow, side slope, and discharge rate to receive immediate results for related metrics such as velocity, hydraulic radius, and Froude number.
• Enhanced Productivity: Boost design efficiency and cut project costs with an intuitive interface that simplifies complex calculations.
• Comprehensive Reporting: Generate detailed reports, rating curves, and flow profiles effortlessly.

Advanced Culvert Analysis
• FEMA-Approved Capabilities: Simplify the analysis of culvert hydraulics, accommodating a range of scenarios from single-barrel crossings to intricate embankment systems with various shapes and sizes.
• Automatic Sizing: Automatically determine culvert dimensions based on maximum headwater and flow specifications.
• Robust Design Evaluation: Compare multiple design options and evaluate existing culverts efficiently within a single file for consistent project organization.

Versatile Hydraulic Design
• Pipe Design Solver: Calculate critical parameters such as length, elevation, pressure, discharge, diameter, or roughness for pipes.
• Inlet and Gutter Calculator: Utilize FHWA Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 22 methodologies to assess various inlet types, including grate, curb, combination, ditch, and slotted-drain options for both on-grade and in-sag installations.
• Open-Channel Hydraulics: Solve for discharge, capacity, normal depth, and flow profile, with options for weighted roughness methods.
• Weir and Orifice Calculators: Evaluate and size different weir types (rectangular, broad-crested, V-notch, Cipolletti) and orifice structures (rectangular, circular, generic).
• Quick Culvert Calculator: Perform rapid calculations for straightforward culverts.
• Culvert Analyzer: Handle more complex culvert systems with features like roadway overtopping and multiple barrels of varying shapes and sizes.
• Culvert Design Calculator: Compare hydraulic performance across multiple design options using FHWA’s Hydraulic Design of Highway Culverts (HDS-5) methodologies.

OpenFlows Hydraulic Toolset includes the functionalities of OpenFlows CulvertMaster and OpenFlows FlowMaster, offering a comprehensive suite for hydraulic design and analysis.
