What is OpenFlows Sewer?

Design and Analyze Sanitary and Combined Sewer Systems

Analyze gravity flow, overflows, flow splits/diversions, pump stations, and force mains with various dry-weather and wet-weather calculation methods. Compare solutions with automated gravity system design and scenario management capabilities. OpenFlows Sewer also provides an easy-to-use environment for designing and analyzing stormwater systems, including inlet capture and bypass flows, gutters, detention facilities, open channels, and culverts.

Scenario Management

Configure, evaluate, visualize, and compare an unlimited number of scenarios within a single file. Evaluate strategies for design, operations, sanitary loading, and network topology to improve decision-making.

Interoperable Hydraulic Modeling

Model within several platforms while accessing a single, shared project data source so you can optimize urban sewer planning and overflow remediation analysis designs in a user-friendly environment.

1D/2D Hydraulic Analysis

Understand surface flooding depth and velocity, flood hazard, and inundation times with user- friendly capabilities that connect 1D network elements with 2D surface flows.

Multiple 1D Hydraulic Solver Options

Perform dynamic 1D analysis using the Saint-Venant equations. Use the GVF-Convex solver to analyze peak flows, automatically design storm sewers, and perform extended-period simulations.

Loading Allocation and Estimation

Accurately model flow changes over the course of a day. Load models with wet-weather runoff flows from precipitation using built-in rainfall distributions or user-defined rainfall events.
