Solver Description

Design Pelton, Francis, and Kaplan turbines. Compute specific speed, runner diameter, efficiency envelopes, shaft power, and cavitation safety.

Key Numerical Methods & Architecture

Input Redirection: Reads parameters sequentially from standard input (`stdin`) using Fortran sequential read (`read(*,*)`), ensuring modular integration.
Modular Design: Formulated using pure mathematical routines, separation of equations from output formatting, and precise numerical solvers (e.g. bisection, Newton-Raphson).
Standard Compliant: Written in clean, standards-compliant Fortran 90 to ensure cross-compiler compatibility.

🛠️ Local Compilation
