Web Interface for Determining Critical Depth in Open Channel

Abstract

Research and calculations of non-uniform motion are very important from a practical point of view and have certain features for different states of flow, analysis of the shape of free surface curves, as well as the design of many hydraulic structures. When considering these issues, the concepts of specific cross-sectional energy and critical depth are used.
 The current trend of technology development in the educational process is based on Internet communications, instant online calculations and mobile microprocessor gadgets with appropriate software. The presented experimental project of educational and methodical material with web forms of online calculation of individual tasks is a variant of the modern competitive online environment on the Internet.
 Further direction of development - addition of methodical video, audio and graphic elements. Analysis of web analytics will gradually simplify the interface and choose the most effective set of modern formats for teaching materials.
 Computer on-line calculations allow to change the initial data and to introduce elements of modeling and in-depth study of theoretical positions using one typical example in the form of a web form
