Flow Pro is an essential software tool for designing open channels such as culverts, sluiceways, and water transportation flumes. It uses the industry standard Manning's equation, combined with numerical integration, to compute
a water surface profile for subcritical and supercritical flow types.
Flow Pro computes the depth, velocity, energy, momentum, and area of flow for your channel, so you know exactly how high or steep it needs to be. It also computes critical and normal depth, so you know what the controlling depths will be. It also lets you choose between English or SI units, so you
can use the unit system you are most familiar with.
Flow Pro handles more cross sections than any other water surface profile program including circular, rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular, ushaped, and tubular shapes. Flow Pro also includes a built in customizable graphing utility that allows you to quickly see the flow profile in your channel.
