This work presents a computational model developed in FORTRAN language for the study of unsteady open-channel flows with the use of Saint-Venant one-dimensional equation. The discretization of hydrodynamic equations are presented in a completely implicit method of finite differences and applied in the model for the investigation of two cases, besides the one used previously to test the model. In the first case, the model is applied for a channel that supplies the Monjolinho hydroelectric plant in Sao Carlos – SP, aiming to evaluate the need of a spillway when the turbine is closed and the flow abruptly stopped, as well as the occurrence of air entering the turbine when it is opened instantaneously. In the second case, the model simulates the development of the flow in the Trabalhador channel, responsible for the water supply in the city of Fortaleza – CE, in order to make possible the automation of operational control, based on data of flow velocity and water level. In both cases the model is presented as a useful tool for the analysis of unsteady open-channel flows, showing results and coherency with theory.
