Flow rate,velocities and losses in non-circular pipes..

[rizzyk]

Hello Guys,

I am currently working on sewerage/storm network design and looking for either spreadsheets formulae or software made especially for oval,elliptical and egg-shaped pipes. Can anyone of you advise as where I can get the useful information.

Thanks in advance.

oh well...as I had doubts initially that this forum got leechers looking for free stuffs only, I decided to built up a spreadsheet by myself regarding the subject of this thread. With over 16 geometries of non circular pipes(arch,ellipse,oval,egg shaped,mouth shape, parabolic and many more) , I have just completed and finalise the spreadsheet. I will send it to Wallingford in the UK to get final checks and permission to sell it as a commercial software. If anyone could have helped me earlier, I would have send the final draft copy to their email or even posted it on this forum. But hey..here we are..!as from now no more request on this forum!

Dear free stuff lovers,

The spreadsheet is finally ready and being checked by the regulated industry in the uk.

The different geometries of pipes are: oval,egg shape, elliptical , horseshoe,mouth shape, parabolic(all of them with varying heights to widths ratios)
Close pipe culvert geometry comprising of octagonal,hexagonal,pentagonal, inverted square.

Open channel comprising of rectangular,trapezoidal,square, v channel.

10 days of hardwork and sleepless nights...there's the results lads!

As mentionned, if someone was kinda helpful to me earlier, he would definitely have got a free copy with password from me.

LOL. Just came back after a very long absence. Life becomes busy too much sometimes.

If you still need to work on the shapes, I can provide some help, which probably you have already dug from all the books. Ven Tee Chow would have been a good starting point and then the solver function in Excel.

And don't worry. This is not about getting the WaterGems password. You should be uploading that anyway if you want any help from the forum.

Best of luck.
