Hydraulics is the branch of fluid mechanics that deals with the practical conveyance of liquids through pipes, channels, and pumping systems. Every municipal water supply, hydroelectric installation, and industrial process line relies on principles first formalised by Bernoulli, Darcy, Weisbach, and Manning. Understanding head loss, pressure transients, and pump-system interaction is essential for safe, efficient infrastructure.
These simulations let you size pipes with the Darcy-Weisbach equation, trace energy lines through a venturi, watch water hammer pressure waves propagate, design open channels with Manning's formula, and overlay pump curves onto system resistance curves — all with interactive, real-time canvas visualizations.
