The hydraulics R package solves basic pipe hydraulics for both pressure and gravity flow conditions, and open-channel hydraulics for trapezoidal channels, including triangular and rectangular. Pressure pipe solutions include functions to 1) describe properties of water, 2) solve the Darcy-Weisbach equation for friction loss through pipes, and 3) plot a Moody diagram. There are also functions for matching a pump characteristic curve to a system curve, and solving for flows in a pipe network using the Hardy-Cross method. Partially-filled pipe and other open-channel flow solutions are solved with the Manning equation. The format of functions and pressure pipe solutions are designed to be compatible with the iemisc package, and the open channel hydraulics solutions are modifications of code in that package.
