These two types of flow are similar in many ways but differ in one important respect: open-channel flow has a free surface, whereas pipe flow does not, resulting in flow dominated by gravity but not …

For open channel flow, given a channel shape and flow rate, flow can usually exist at two different depths, termed subcritical (slow, deep) and supercritical (shallow, fast). The exception is at critical …

This chapter describes concepts and equations that apply to the design or analysis of open channels and conduit for culverts and storm drains. Refer to the relevant chapters for specific procedures. The …

At the heart of the routing models included in the program are the fundamental equations of open channel flow: the momentum equation and the continuity equation.

This open channel flow calculator will help you determine the water flow rate of open channels for any typical cross-sectional area of water flow.

This article offers a comprehensive overview of open channel flow, covering the various types, hydraulic structures, and equations involved in open channel flow analysis.

An open channel is a watercourse that allows part of the flow to be exposed to the atmosphere. This includes streams, rivers, culverts, stormwater systems, roadside ditches and swales, and roadway …

Flow of fluids in a conduit facing with a free surface and contact with the atmosphere is called an open channel flow.

Now in the third edition, this text on open-channel flow presents introductory material on the topic as well as up-to-date information for the planning, design, and operation of water-resource projects.

Understanding this flow provides the necessary framework for managing water resources and predicting how large volumes of liquid will behave across diverse landscapes. The principles defining open …
