pydraulics 0.0.1

A simple package for open and pipe flow in hydraulics created at IDOM.

pydraulics

pydraulics is a Python package designed to facilitate hydraulic calculations and analysis. It provides a range of functionalities for open channel flow and pipe flow calculations.

Features

Open Channel Flow

• Depth Calculation: Estimate the depth of flow in open channels based on input parameters such as flow rate, channel geometry, and Manning's roughness coefficient.
• Flow Calculation: Determine the flow rate in open channels using various methods by using Manning's equation.
• Critical Flow and Critical Slope Calculation: Calculate the critical flow rate and critical slope in open channels to determine the specific conditions at which flow transitions occur.

Pipe Flow

• Losses Calculation: Calculate the friction losses and other energy losses in pipes for different flow conditions and material roughness.
• Reynolds Number and Darcy Coefficient: Utilize a third-party package to calculate the Reynolds number and Darcy coefficient, providing valuable information about the flow regime and the hydraulic resistance of the pipe.

Installation

To install pydraulics, you can use pip, the Python package manager. Simply run the following command:

pip install pydraulics

Getting Started

Here's an example of how to use pydraulics for open channel and pipe flow calculations:

from open_flow import TrapezoidalChannel, TriangularChannel, CircularChannel, RectangularChannel
from pipe_flow import Pipe

# Calculate friction losses in a pipe

#Example with Darcy (default)
pipe1 = Pipe(Q=10, D=0.2, e=0.005, L=100)
print(pipe1.__dict__)
#Example with azen-Williams
pipe2 = Pipe(Q=1, D=0.9, L=100, method='Hazen-Williams', C=140)
print(pipe2.__dict__)

# Calculate depth in an open channel
print(RectangularChannel(b=2, n=0.0013, So=0.0075, Q = 3.5).__dict__)
print(TrapezoidalChannel(b=2, n=0.013, So=0.0075, Q = 3.5, z=1.5).__dict__)
print(CircularChannel(D=1, n=0.013, So=0.0075, Q = 2.1).__dict__)
print(TriangularChannel(z=1.5, n=0.0013, So=0.0075, Q = 3.5).__dict__)

# Calculate flow rate in an open channel using Manning's equation
print(RectangularChannel(b=2, n=0.0013, So=0.0075, y = .1177).__dict__)
print(TrapezoidalChannel(b=2, n=0.013, So=0.0075, y = 0.426, z=1.5).__dict__)
print(CircularChannel(D=1, n=0.0013, So=0.0075, y = 0.2777).__dict__)
print(TriangularChannel(z=1.5, n=0.0013, So=0.0075, y = 0.354).__dict__)
