Preparing a Computer Software for Hydraulic Design of Open Water Transfer Structures

Abstract

Proper design of water transfer and distribution structures has an important role in realization of the project’s objectives. At the present research was tried that by using of relation hydraulic about of water flow in open channels and using of design criterions was supplied a computer software in format of visual basic program language for design of canals, road crossing, inverted siphon and rectangular inclined drop. At beginning, program algorithm was prepared in format of flowchart or ordinal recipe and then algorithm structure was designed in format of visual basic program language that this had included designing of graphical component for input of information, display of output, graphical component of windows programs and write of program to visual basic program language. After of graphical design and write of primary program for debug of errors that usually happen in primal stages, this program was run. After know of errors, this error was debugged and then prepared setup file so that user exerted it in windows operation system or another operation system. Comparison between software calculation and result of manual calculation pointed that this software can design these structures by high accuracy.
