EndpointPriceWhat it answers
GET /critical-depth$0.02Critical depth where Froude number is 1 (Q^2/g = A^3/T) for rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular or circular channels.
GET /froude-number$0.02Froude number V / sqrt(g A/T) and flow regime (subcritical, critical, supercritical) for an open-channel section.
GET /manning-flow$0.02Manning flow, velocity and hydraulic radius for rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular or part-full circular channels, SI or US.
GET /normal-depth$0.03Normal (uniform-flow) depth for a given discharge in a rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular or circular channel by bisection.
GET /orifice-flow$0.02Orifice discharge Q = Cd A sqrt(2 g h) for a round or given-area opening, with typical Cd by edge type, SI or US.
GET /rational-method$0.02Peak runoff Q = C i A by the rational method, from a runoff coefficient, surface type or weighted sub-areas, SI or US.
GET /time-of-concentration$0.02Time of concentration by the Kirpich formula and the NRCS lag equation, with the limits of each stated.
GET /weir-flow$0.02Discharge over a sharp-crested rectangular (Francis), V-notch or Cipolletti weir from head, SI or US units.

Hydraulic arithmetic computed locally from the numbers given, using standard published formulas, provided as is. Educational estimates only: not for design or code compliance. Roughness, runoff and discharge coefficients are typical values; real channels need site data and a licensed engineer. Every paid response carries a disclaimer field.
