a5c-ai Hydraulic Analysis Engine Skill
Purpose
The Hydraulic Analysis Engine Skill performs hydraulic analysis for open channels, culverts, and pipe networks using Manning's equation and energy-momentum principles.
Capabilities
- Open channel flow (Manning's equation)
- Culvert hydraulics (inlet/outlet control)
- Pipe network analysis
- Energy and momentum calculations
- Backwater analysis
- Spillway design calculations
- Critical and normal depth
- Gradually varied flow
Usage Guidelines
When to Use
