An hydraulics software system for a one-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model
for modeling unsteady flows in sewer and storm water urban drainage systems is
provided. The inventive software uses as a numerical model, an implicit four-point,
finite-difference solution technique to solve the one-dimensional Saint-Venant
equations. The software is designed to select that numerical model, or equation
that best describes, or best exhibits the behavior of each of the various structures
and flows encountered in complex hydrodynamic systems such as a sewer and storm
water drainage systems. Local partial initial modification for subcritical and
supercritical transcritical flows is provided. Relaxation for pipe/channel networks
are included for achieving computational performance and robustness for commercial
software for practical use in water resource engineering.
