History of AULOS

1. CREEK - 1969. Steady backwater analysis in irregular channels of arbitrary shape.

2. RIVERS - 1976. Unsteady flow in hydro canal networks, both open and closed conduits.

3. HYDRA - 1988. First CELL Integral solutions, unsteady flow in highly irregular channels.

4. MIKE11 UD - 1991. HYDRA engine integrated with MIKE 11 user interface.

5. AULOS - 1998. MIKE 11 interface replaced by a new Windows user interface. Solution of the full hydraulics equations extended to both rivers and sewers.

AULOS is backed by in-depth knowledge of modelling
