Cálculo Computacional de Parámetros Hidráulicos en Canales Abiertos

Abstract

Analytical computation on hydraulics parameters is a difficult task. For this reason engineers generally have resortedto graphics and tables. In this paper, it has been developed a computer program based on Newton-Raphson numerical method for determining the normal and critical depths and the hydraulics parameters defining cross-sections of different geometric forms.
Various regimes (higher, lower and critical), and channels with the following characteristics: non erosionable, withflat bed, and constant and independent, of the depth rugosity are considered.
The execute program is interactive and it can run at any
compatible PC.
