FLUVEX (FLUVial EXpert) combines methods for the calculation of uniform and non-uniform flows in rivers. The simple use of the different modules allows to treat and solve many practical problems in a fast and efficient way. The program helps to exploit the full information of given cross-section data. Additional modules for the transport of sediments and dispersion extend the applications to problems of river maintenance and river ecology.
The numerical model has the
following
distinctions:
stability
for critical and supercritical flow regimes (steady)
stability
for subcritical flow regimes (unsteady)
thermal
mixing with stream-tube approach
modular
design
Uniform Flow
flow capacity in simple and compound channels with variable
bed roughness
distribution of flow velocity and bed shear in cross-sections
including friction losses due to vegetation
transport capacity for sediments
Non-Uniform Flow
backwater calculation for sub- and supercritical flow regimes
weirs, gates and culverts
inflows and outlets
side-weirs and side-gates
distribution of flow velocity and bed shear
transport capacity for sediments
travel times
two-dimensional dispersion (stream tube approach)
unsteady flood routing with four-point scheme (Preissmann
scheme)
bed
evolution (mobile bed) with VAW formula
