Advanced Hydraulic Modeling Solutions for Water Infrastructure

Uploaded March 2025 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models enable engineers to address complex challenges in high-risk, high-cost water infrastructure projects. This presentation, led by Senior CFD Engineers Brian Fox and Jon Bouchard, explores FLOW-3D HYDRO, a leading 3D CFD hydraulic modeling software for designing and analyzing dams, spillways, conveyance systems, water treatment, and river hydraulics.

Topics include:

Key differences between 3D CFD and conventional approaches
Case studies showing how FLOW-3D HYDRO improves efficiency and insights
Practical steps for moving from problem definition to solution

$Frac Tank Hydraulics | FLOW-3D HYDRO Hydraulic mixing is critical when using frac tanks in the oil and gas industry as a mobile water storage solution. Improved hydraulic mixing can lead to a more efficient treatment system. To model the hydraulic characteristics, the simulation was set up with a scalar model to visualize the mixing. The scalar model along with streamline plots and other advanced post-processing tools allows for easier analysis of an open-top tank with such a configuration.
