Development of a specific software for the calculation of open channels with uniform flow considering energy principles
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this research project is the codification of a specific software for the calculation of open channels of uniform flow considering the energy principles, which allows to obtain quickly and safely the normal and critical tie, geometric elements, flow rate, optimal hydraulic section of the sections proposed by Ven Te Chow, rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular, circular, parabolic, rectangular with rounded corners and triangular with rounded bottom, in addition to the geometric elements for any equation of the parabola, the hydraulic headroom and weirs. To verify the veracity of the developed program "SN CANALES v2.0", the results obtained were checked with the existing HCANALES software and manually; obtaining a margin of error of less than 1.5%, thus verifying that the values obtained by the software are reliable.
