Hostgator is a large independently possessed hosting business operating from several state of the art centers in Dallas, Texas. Hostgator was founded in 2002, because then they have actually expanded rapidly and currently host over 400,000 websites.

Hostgator offers numerous different hosting packages, and deal with a broad array of customers. From the first time webmaster who needs simple, stress cost-free hosting for their personal website; all the way with to big corporations, who require specialist devoted hosting services.

Hostgator's hosting packages can be split into 3 teams; basic shared hosting plans (suitable for the huge bulk people), reseller hosting strategies (these are generally for people and companies that want to "resell" their account resources to consumers of their own), and lastly committed server strategies (these accounts give client their own server, so they don't have to share its resources with anyone else). Really few of us will every need a devoted server so this testimonial will focus on the shared hosting strategies that Hostgator offer.

Attributes

Hostgator's 3 major shared hosting plans are named: "Hatchling" (the entry level plan priced at $6.95 / month), "Child" (this is the most popular plan, and it is likely to satisfy the requirements of a really wide range of customers), and "Swamp" (similar as the "Baby" plan, however with increases in bandwidth and disk space, priced at $14.95 / month).

For a complete list of features and a side by side contrast of all hosting strategies you should see Hostgator's website below. Below is a testimonial of the most vital features of the "Baby" strategy, this is most likely the most ideal plan for the majority of users, and it is our favorite plan.

Disk space 100GB - This amount has actually been just recently upgraded by Hostgator from 5GB to a huge 100GB. All users are most likely to discover it impossible to tire this quantity of disk space.

Bandwidth 1000GB/month - Also enhanced is the bandwidth allotment, from 75GB to a relatively extreme 1000GB. Once again virtually absolutely no opportunity of making use of all that, but it's good to understand that you absolutely won't be dealing with additional costs for reviewing your limitation, even if you have an extremely hectic internet site(s).

Website Studio website home builder - This is an excellent free program that permits you to build your site from scratch. You have over 500 design templates and color schemes to select from. You require no HTML experience, or code writing understanding. It provides the most basic possible method of making an expert looking site in a really short area of time. Nonetheless, there is no have to take my word for it, as Hostgator offers us with a trial version of the software application on their internet site!

Unrestricted add-on domains - This truly is the stand out function of this hosting plan (the "Hatchling" strategy just permits 1 domain), and allows you to host as lots of internet sites as you like on a single account, at no additional expense. This permits you to make full use of your massive bandwidth and disk space allowances, and host numerous internet sites at a portion of the regular cost.

99.9 % Uptime guarantee - This generally tells us that Hostgator is a significant host offering a trusted service. If uptime drops below this figure in any provided month then you do not spend for that months hosting, it's as basic as that! We would never ever think about making use of a host that did not provide a strong uptime assurance; this is simply because there is only one great reason why a host will not offer an uptime assurance - undependable uptime!

30 Day money back guarantee - This has become a pretty conventional function in the webhosting community, though it's good to have for added assurance.

Immediate setup - Many hosting providers take 24-48 hours to setup your account however Hostgator guarantees to have you up and running in under 15 minutes (they do not charge a setup charge either)!

Endless MySQL databases - This is really helpful because each Fantastico (see below) script requires its own MySQL database.

Fantastico DeLuxe - This remarkable program permits you to instantly install over 50 scripts through your control board. Scripts include blog sites, forums, galleries, buying carts, and more.

If you cherished this article and also you would like to receive more info pertaining to Hostgator Coupons generously visit our own web site. Unrestricted e-mail accounts - Permits you to have as many, or as few, different email addresses as you like.

It contains numerous features and offers good performance. Best of all, there is a complete working demo on the Hostgator website, so you can test it out yourself!

Customer service and technical support

Hostgator offers us 24/7 phone support, and live online chat. The fact that you are provided 2 options to receive instantaneous technical support at any time of the day is excellent. Our experience has actually always been really good when speaking to Hostgator, their operatives are extremely respectful and most significantly they appear to understand their things when dealing with technical issues.

Performance

The efficiency from Hostgator's servers is outstanding! Hostgator location much tighter limitations on the variety of websites sharing the exact same server compared with most various other shared hosting carriers. This offers higher dependability since less stress is put on the servers; and it also greatly enhances the rate at which your web pages run.

Server efficiency is an additional one of the essential areas where Hostgator distinguish themselves from the crowd of various other host.

Our decision

Overall there is so much to such as about the method Hostgator does company, they actually do appear to have a great grasp on what the typical customer requires from a web hosting provider. Rarely do you come across reports of unhappy Hostgator customers, and after hosting with them ourselves we now understand why! At simply $9.95 / month for the "Baby" strategy (which includes limitless domains); anyone looking to host more than one internet site has a rather easy decision to make.

The 1-D Saint Venant equation was derived by Adhémar Jean Claude Barré de Saint-Venant, and is commonly used to model transient open-channel flow and surface runoff. It is a simplification of the two dimensional shallow water equations, which are also known as the two dimensional Saint Venant equations. The 1-D simplification is used exclusively in models including HEC-RAS, MIKE 11, and MIKE SHE because it is significantly easier to solve than the full shallow water equations. Common applications of the 1-D Saint Venant Equation include dam break analyses, storm pulses in an open channel, as well as storm runoff in overland flow.

Derivation from Navier Stokes

The 1-D Saint Venant equation can be derived from the Navier-Stokes equations that describe fluid motion. The Saint Venant equation when expressed in Cartesian coordinates in the x direction can be written as:

where u is the velocity in the x direction, v is the velocity in the y direction, w is the velocity in the z direction, t is time, p is the pressure, ρ is the density of water,ν is the kinematic viscosity, and fx is the body force in the x direction.

1. If it is assumed that friction is taken into account as a body force, then ν can be assumed as zero so:

2. Assuming one dimensional flow in the x direction it follows that:

3. Assuming also that the pressure distribution is approximately hydrostatic it follows that:

or in differential form:

And when input into the Navier Stokes equation:

4. There are 2 body forces acting on the channel fluid, gravity, and friction:

where fx,g is the body force due to gravity and fx,f is the body force due to friction.

5. fx,g can be calculated using basic physics and trigonometry:

where Fg is the force of gravity in the x direction, θ is the angle, and M is the mass.

Figure 1:Diagram of block moving down an inclined plane.

The expression for sin θ can be simplified using trigonometry as:

For small θ (reasonable for almost all streams) it can be assumed that:

and given that fx represents a force per unit mass, the expression becomes:

6. Assuming the energy grade line is not the same as the channel slope, and for a reach of consistent slope there is a consistent friction loss, it follows that:

7. All of these assumptions combined arrives at the 1-dimensional Saint Venant equation in the x-direction:

where (a) is the local acceleration term, (b) is the convective acceleration term, (c) is the pressure gradient term, (d) is the gravity term, and (e) is the friction term.[1]

Terms

The local acceleration (a) can also be thought of as the “unsteady term” as this describes some change in velocity over time. The convective acceleration (b) is an acceleration caused by some change in velocity over position, for example the speeding up or slowing down of a fluid entering a constriction or an opening, respectively. Both these terms make up the inertia terms of the 1-dimensional Saint Venant equation.

The pressure gradient term (c) describes how pressure changes with position, and since the pressure is assumed hydrostatic, this is the change in head over position. The gravity term (d) is the acceleration due to slope, while the friction term (e) accounts for losses in energy due to friction

Common simplifications

Dynamic wave

The Dynamic wave is the term used to describe the full 1-dimensional Saint Venant equation. It is numerically challenging to solve, but it valid for all channel flow scenarios. The dynamic wave is used for modeling transient storms in modeling programs including HEC-RAS,[2] MIKE 11,[3] Wash 123d [4] and SWMM.

Kinematic wave

For the kinematic wave it is assumed that the flow is uniform, and that the friction slope is approximately equal slope of the channel. This simplifies the full Saint Venant equation to the kinematic wave:

The kinematic wave is valid when the inertial acceleration is much larger than the other forms of acceleration, or in other words when there is a large steady flood. The kinematic wave is used in HEC-HMS.[5]

Diffusive wave

For the diffusive wave it is assumed that the inertial terms are less than the gravity, friction, and pressure terms. The diffusive wave can therefore be more accurately described as a non-inertia wave, and is written as:

The diffusive wave is valid when the inertial acceleration is much smaller than all other forms of acceleration, or in other words when there is primarily subcritical flow. Models that use the diffusive wave assumption include MIKE SHE[6] and LISFLOOD-FP.[7]

Example

Following is an example solution of the kinematic wave using an explicit finite difference algorithm.

Setup

Multiplying the kinematic wave equation by the area of the channel, it follows that:

where Q is the channel flow, and Vw is the velocity of wave propagation.

Vw is the celerity, and is equal to the derivative of the discharge with respect to the depth, normalized by the channel topwidth (T):

where n is manning’s roughness coefficient, and R is the hydraulic radius.

Assuming a wide channel, the hydraulic radius is approximately the same as the channel depth, simplifying the equation above to:

To describe the stability of the finite difference scheme the Courant number (C) is defined as:

where Δt is the time discretization, and Δx is the space discretization.

Solution

Table 1: Flow prediction (Q, m³/s) using an explicit finite difference formulation of the kinematic wave with a Courant number of 0.9.

Suppose Vw is 1 m/s, the flow of interest iat 200 m intervals over a 1000 m reach, the initial flow for the entire reach is 3 m3/s, and an estimate is used for the hydrograph at location "0". Then the kinematic wave can be used to estimate the flow over time. If C is less than 1 there is some numerical dispersion but the solution is stable, but if C is greater than 1 the solution is numerically unstable. The case of C = 0.9 yields a Δt of 180 seconds, or 0.05 hours.

The notation used for solving the kinematic wave is:

where is the flow at location i at time j. Note that the j term is not an exponent.

An explicit solution algorithm is used, with all of the flow values known for the initial conditions (t = 0), and at the upstream boundary (x = 0) for all values of t. The solution is explicit because known flows upstream at the previous time step (i-1, j) and at the same location at the previous timestep (i,j) are used to calculate the flow for the next timestep (j+1).

If the forward difference approximation is used then:

Using this methodology a storm can be routed through the system, as displayed in Table 1.

The hydrographs at the upstream boundary and the downstream boundary of the routing channel are compared in figure 3

To illustrate how the forward difference algorithm works, the flow at the location 400 m downstream of the upstream boundary after 0.5 hours will be illustrated (see highlighted entries in Table 1).

From table 1 it follows that:

Therefore:

Courant number analysis

To demonstrate the effect of the Courant number (C) on the predicted hydrograph, the routing is repeated for various C values and the hydrograph at the downstream boundary ( x = 1000 m) is displayed. The results for a C of 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0 are displayed in figure 4, and the results for a C of 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 are displayed in figure 5. When using an explicit algorithm, if C is less than 1 numerical dispersion occurs; however, the results are stable. This is illustrated by the hydrographs varying more as C decreases. When using an explicit algorithm, if C is greater than 1 numerical instabilities occur and the results become unstable. This is illustrated by the increasingly oscillatory behavior in the downstream hydrograph as C increases.
