Openchannelflow
Openchannelflow is an open-source software framework designed for simulating and analyzing open-channel flow in hydraulic engineering and hydrology. It provides tools to model unsteady flow in single channels and channel networks, using common formulations such as the Saint-Venant shallow water equations. The project targets researchers, practitioners, and educators by offering a modular architecture and a high-level scripting interface.
Key features include a modular solver suite for one-dimensional and two-dimensional flow, flexible boundary and initial
The software architecture centers on a performant core engine with Python bindings, enabling rapid experimentation while
Openchannelflow is released under an open-source license and maintained by a community of contributors and institutions.
