HydroCAD^® Stormwater Modeling - Since 1986

Hydro International Vortex Valves Supported by HydroCAD

HydroCAD 7.1 adds direct support for modeling of vortex control valves, and includes pre-defined discharge tables for the Reg-U-Flo^® product line manufactured by Hydro International.

Since Vortex valves have a unique "S" shaped stage-discharge curve which cannot be modeled with the traditional orifice equation, HydroCAD Software Solutions LLC has worked together with engineers at Hydro International to produce a library of rating curves that allow these devices to be easily modeled in HydroCAD.  This allows designers to evaluate the benefits of using vortex valves in their stormwater management systems, which can often reduce the amount of storage that must be built in order to meet peak-discharge requirements for a given pond.
