v0.9.0
StormSewer v0.8.0
Second release — a major step toward a defensible professional tool. Deeper
hydraulics, real HEC-22 methods, NOAA rainfall ingestion, and a correctness
audit of it all. GPL-3.0-or-later; still free for the world.
New in 0.8.0
Hydraulics
- True gradually-varied-flow (GVF) backwater — the HGL is now a real
standard-step water-surface profile (M1/M2), not a single friction step. - Flow-regime classification — every reach is reported as subcritical,
critical, supercritical, or pressurized (from normal vs critical depth), and
the HGL model routes each regime correctly. A supercritical reach whose outlet
is drowned by a downstream surcharge is now backed up rather than ignored.
HEC-22
- Access-hole structure losses (opt-in) — composite energy-loss coefficient
from relative access-hole size, flow deflection, plunging, and benching. - Real inlet interception — Izzard gutter spread, frontal/side-flow grate
efficiency, curb-opening length for full interception, and weir/orifice sag
capacity, replacing the earlier surrogate.
Rainfall
- NOAA Atlas 14 import — load or paste a NOAA PFDS precipitation CSV and
StormSewer fitsa/(t+b)^cIDF coefficients for every return period; fitted
curves are shown in the IDF panel. - Rational frequency factor (Cf) — raises the effective runoff coefficient
for rarer storms (25/50/100-yr).
Reports & review
- Submittal metadata (engineer, firm, project number, jurisdiction) on reports.
- HGL freeboard check and non-circular cover (uses section rise) in the review.
- Real FAA Tc formula; TR-55 channel segments use Manning velocity.
Quality
- A multi-agent correctness audit of the new GVF, HEC-22, and NOAA code, with
every real finding fixed (see the audit-hardening commit). - Test suite expanded to 180+ tests (integration, robustness, unit-conversion,
and golden-value coverage).
Editor
- Draw pipe runs by clicking the canvas, snap highlighting, finish-on-right-
click/double-click, drag-to-merge, split-by-drop, reverse, duplicate, and
place-on-empty context menus.
StormSewer v0.7.0
First public release of the StormSewer hydrology & hydraulics engine — an open
recreation of the standard methods used by tools like Autodesk Hydraflow Storm
Sewers. GPL-3.0-or-later.
What's in it
- Engine (
stormsewer) — Rational-method peak-flow accumulation, Manning
circular open-channel hydraulics (exact geometry, normal/critical depth, full
and peak capacity), time-of-concentration (Kirpich, TR-55, FAA), HGL backwater
with junction losses, standard-pipe sizing, and HEC-22 inlet capacity. - Desktop app (
StormSewer) — plan + profile + inspector, live analysis,
editing with undo, light/dark themes, DXF/LandXML/.STMimport and
DXF/LandXML/PDF/HTML export. - CLI (
stormsewer-cli) — analyze a.ssnnetwork, with--sizeand
--review. - Web (
stormsewer-wasm) — the same engine compiled to WebAssembly; a
browser playground with live calculators and full-network analysis, no server.
Validation
Correctness is pinned to hand-derived reference values, not ranges:
tests/validation.rs— Manning full-flow (16.04 cfs), half-full = ½ capacity,
peak capacity 1.076× full at y/D≈0.938, critical depth at Froude = 1, Kirpich,
TR-55.tests/worked_example.rs+WORKED_EXAMPLE.md— a full two-pipe network
reproduced column-for-column.tests/hgl_validation.rs— HGL backwater (friction + structure loss +
tailwater → 111.81 ft).
106 tests pass; debug and release builds are clean on stable Rust.
Try it
# CLI
cargo run --bin stormsewer-cli -- examples/sample.ssn --size --review
# Web (or open the GitHub Pages URL)
./wasm/build.sh && cd wasm && python3 -m http.serverImport an existing Hydraflow .STM project and compare — that's the fastest way
to see the numbers line up with what you already trust.
Known limitations
See READINESS.md. In brief: steady Rational peak flow only (no hydrograph
routing), single-K junction losses (not full FHWA structure-loss methodology),
non-circular shapes solved as equivalent circular, and multi-structure HGL not
yet validated against a published HEC-22 profile.
