In
addition to Visual Hydraulic's advanced modeling capabilities,
many special features are offered that allow the designer to
analyze a variety of unique hydraulic scenarios.
Special
loss feature
Many
hydraulic features don't have standard equations or
methodologies to effectively predict their hydraulic
behavior. Specialized equipment (grit units, unique
fittings and valves, advanced treatment technologies, etc) are
common in treatment plant applications. Hydraulic data is
usually available for specialized equipment from their
vendors. This data can be imported into Visual Hydraulics
and hydraulic equations can be generated for these unique
features:
Manifold/Diffuser
Tool
Manifolds
and diffusers are often found in treatment plants where the flow
is to be distributed over a wide area. Common examples are
ocean outfalls (diffusers) and trickling filter distributors.
The hydraulic analysis of multiple discharge distributors is one
of the more unique modeling problems facing designers. The
entire system must be designed so that the flow is distributed
among the discharge points as evenly as possible, all while
maintaining a reasonable head loss for the entire system.
Visual Hydraulic's manifold/diffuser tool can perform these
calculations for complex discharge systems in a matter of
seconds. Simply specify the characteristics of the
diffuser, discharge points, and flow - and check the
results.
