Real-Time Hydraulic Model (R-THYM)
Real-Time Hydraulic Model (R-THYM)
Pump Station Operation Demonstration
A partially automated system that requires some manual interaction to keep the system running smoothly. See if you can operate the constant speed pumps and a drain valve to keep the water supply flowing.
Hybrid Renewable Energy Supply
Determine the appropriate mix of renewable energy and battery size needed to power a constant speed pump that delivers water to a small tank for irrigation supplies. Run the model for 24 hours to ensure that you can prevent the tank from going dry during the irrigation period.
Pumped Storage
Closed-loop pumped storage with solar and wind supply. Automatic controls fill the upper reservoir from renewables and export turbine power during peak pricing hours.
Analyzing Pressure Surge in Transmission Main
Simulate water hammer effects caused by rapid valve closure at the end of a long transmission main. Experiment with different closure rates to minimize pressure surges, prevent cavitation, and protect the pipeline from damage.
Real-Time Surge Analysis: Looped Pipe Network
Watch R-THYM's high-fidelity Method of Characteristics (MOC) engine in action. This model showcases dynamic transient wave propagation and pressure oscillations across a complex looped system—all running natively in the browser.

Three Culverts Model
Analyze water surface profiles and hydraulic transitions through a channel section containing three culvert structures. Play with flow rates and witness transition regimes computed live.
ConSpan Culvert Model
Analyze water surface elevations and standard step hydraulics through the ConSpan culvert structure. Adjust channel geometry, discharge rates, and downstream boundary conditions live.

Integrated Agricultural and Municipal Demand and Delivery (IAMDD) Model
Synthesize GIS, weather data, and complex pipe network hydraulics to accurately simulate regional water delivery for mixed agricultural and municipal demands.
IAMDD Example Model: Strawberry Farm
A hypothetical strawberry farm being irrigated with microsprinklers. This example demonstrates how to configure and run an IAMDD model without building one from scratch.

GoldSim Model - IWRM
A demonstration of executing a complex, stochastic GoldSim model securely in the cloud and delivering the statistical results directly to a highly interactive web dashboard.
GoldSim B-SOAR Simulation
Simulate the performance of a deep geologic repository (DGR) for spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste from your browser. Developed in partnership with Esh Consulting LLC, this tool demonstrates how complex legacy codes like the NRC’s probabilistic B-SOAR GoldSim model can be hosted in the cloud to improve accessibility, QA, and visualization.
Probabilistic Snowmelt Watershed Runoff
Define the watershed and climate data using automatic delineation and fetching of GHCN datasets with analysis before running the model. This GoldSim model uses the stochastic weather generator WGEN to drive hydrological models such as a snow accumulation and melt model with the Australian Water Balance Model (AWBM).

Pump Dynamics Simulator
Real-time differential solver tracking dynamic head variables, parallel pump mechanics, and variable flow interactions.
EPANET Scenario Model
An interactive, web-based platform for running EPANET water distribution models. Operators can intuitively evaluate localized demand changes and instantly visualize resulting pressure gradients across the municipal grid.
Climate Time Series Explorer
A unified utility to easily find, download, and analyze historical daily climate time-series data from NOAA GHCN-D. It provides geographic search, data filtering, and advanced statistical analysis for both precipitation and temperature—including extremes, distributions, and long-term Mann-Kendall climatic trends.
Riprap Channel Design
Calculate stone sizing for channel armoring based on Isbash methodology and velocity profiles. This interactive tool features real-time animations that dynamically update the visual shape of the channel, water depth, and riprap thickness as you adjust the design parameters.

Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
Design and analyze shell and tube heat exchangers. Adjust physical configuration, fluid flows, and temperatures to interactively model heat transfer rate, pressure drops, and velocity profiles in real time.
Your Custom Tool
I can build a custom water resources simulation tool for you too. Whether it is on or offline, desktop or web-based, I can integrate these tools directly into your own website (even if the simulations run on my servers). I have experience integrating various water resources tools with dynamic, project-specific user interfaces to meet your specific needs.
