New xpwspg is an easy-to-use hydraulic analysis model that computes uniform and non-uniform steady flow water surface profiles and pressure gradients in a network of open channels and closed conduits. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LADPW) requires use of this model for hydraulic design and has sponsored the development of xpwspg to update the WSPG (Water Surface Pressure Gradient) hydraulic engine and embed that engine in streamlined graphical user interface. xpwspg is available as a standalone product or as a module embedded in xpswmm or xpstorm.
xpwspg applications include:
- Engineered Channel Design
- Urban Drainage Analysis
- Minor Hydraulic Loss Analysis
|
Features of new xpwspg include:

GIS-Based Graphical User Interface (click to enlarge) |
Users can graphically lay out their system, enter or quickly import the relevant data, run the analysis and view graphical results. Further, they are now able to tie the hydraulic model to one of many hydrological models within xpswmm and xpstorm, most importantly the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works Modified Rational (ModRat) model for flow generation.
In addition to the basic hydraulic and hydrological features within xpswmm, users also have access to profile and cross section views, map output to CAD programs, a built-in Digital Terrain Map, and more.
The new WSPG release is available in three forms:
WSPG 2010: This is a no cost standalone product which includes the new WSPG engine in an intuitive user interface. It is available for download here.
xpwspg 2010: A new standalone product that includes Los Angeles County Rational Method in a geospacial working environment with WSPG calculations, XP Software expert working environment with graphical user interface, profile views, export to AutoCAD, a Digital Terrain Model, easy data entry with xptables and more. This is purchasable through XP Software.
xpwspg add-on module to xpswmm and xpstorm: An add-on module that provides the WSPG calculations to the comprehensive xpswmm and xpstorm models. Users can utilize the advanced hydraulics, reports, hydrologic methods, dynamic St. Venant calculations, GIS data exchange, and water quality components that XP Software provides.
