Need a simple Irregular Cross Section River Hydraulics Calculator
Need a simple Irregular Cross Section River Hydraulics Calculator
(OP)
I am not needing a full model, I just need to check some spot cross sections for a drainage study and I, at one time, found a really cool simple calculator program that was very well done, graphics were cool and it allowed river style sections, ie with multiple offset and elevation sets to define a cross section.
Unfortunately I lost the link and can not find it again after much looking. To my shock there seem to be almost no simple irregular cross section calculators out there.
Any help is appreciated. I am trying to not get fed up and write my own, as that seems silly.
Thanks....

does irregular sections and a lot more and is fairly simple

Inside the reach select "Custom cross section" and enter the elevation/offset values to define your channel. You can use a separate Manning's value for each segment, or a single value for the entire section.
When you're done you can get complete stage-discharge and stage-storage data for the channel.
