Alternatives in Hydraulic & Process Simulation
Free, public-domain stormwater, wastewater, and combined sewer system simulation model by the US Environmental Protection Agency -- dynamic hydrology-hydraulic-water quality simulation for single-event or continuous modeling of rainfall-runoff, pipe/channel routing, green infrastructure/LID controls, and pollutant loads; the industry-standard computational engine used worldwide for drainage design, CSO/SSO mitigation, floodplain mapping, and regulatory compliance (NPDES, CMOM, TMDL).
3.4/5
Free, public-domain water distribution system modeling software by the US Environmental Protection Agency -- performs extended-period simulation of hydraulic and water-quality behavior within pressurized pipe networks (pipes, pumps, valves, tanks), tracking flow, pressure, water age, chlorine residuals, and contaminant transport; provides a C Programmer's Toolkit (DLL with 50+ functions) for custom integration; the industry-standard computational engine underlying most commercial water-distribution modeling packages worldwide.
3.4/5
Integrated catchment modeling software for stormwater, wastewater, and flood network analysis -- 1D/2D hydraulic and hydrologic simulation, cloud or local compute, collaborative scenario management, and rule-based network design for sewer and stormwater engineers at utilities and engineering consultancies.
3.0/5
Water distribution system modeling and simulation software for hydraulic analysis, water quality modeling, fire flow analysis, energy management, and pipe network calibration -- part of Bentley's OpenFlows portfolio, serving municipal water utilities and engineering consultants.
