Software/Tools for Water Measurement and Hydraulic Structures Analysis

• Coanda-Effect Screen Performance — Coanda-effect screens provide low-maintenance debris and fish exclusion.
• Low-Head Dams Spreadsheet Tool — An Excel spreadsheet used to identify low-head dams that create dangerous submerged hydraulic jumps.
• PIDSim — Educational software to help understand common canal gate-control algorithms.
• SpillwayPro — New (2019) software companion to "Engineering Monograph 42: Cavitation in Chutes & Spillways." SpillwayPro provides tools to 1) calculate water surface profiles and cavitation characteristics for existing spillways, 2) design spillway aerators, and 3) perform post-event cavitation damage assessments.
• USBRWeir Calculator — An Excel spreadsheet used to create custom ratings for partially and fully contracted sharp-crested weirs.
• WinADV — Analysis and post-processing of acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) data.
• WinFlume — Design and calibration of long-throated flumes and broad-crested weirs.
• Wall Gage Creator — Flow-graduated staff gages for any hydraulic structure with a rating table or rating equation.
• WinGate — Calibration of canal check structure gates (radial and slide gates) for accurate flow measurement.
