Chapter 13: Open Channel Flow
Classification of Open-Channel Flows
Open-channel flows are
characterized by the
presence of a liquid-gas
interface called the free
surface.
Natural flows: rivers,
creeks, floods, etc.
Human-made systems:
fresh-water aqueducts,
irrigation, sewers,
drainage ditches, etc.

Chapter 13: Open Channel Flow
Classification of Open-Channel Flows
In an open channel,
Velocity is zero on bottom and sides of
channel due to no-slip condition
Velocity is maximum at the midplane of the
free surface
In most cases, velocity also varies in the
streamwise direction
Therefore, the flow is 3D
Nevertheless, 1D approximation is made with
good success for many practical problems.

Chapter 13: Open Channel Flow
Classification of Open-Channel Flows
Flow in open channels is
also classified as being
uniform or nonuniform,
depending upon the
depth y.
Uniform flow (UF)
encountered in long
straight sections where
head loss due to friction
is balanced by elevation
drop.
Depth in UF is called
normal depth yn

Chapter 13: Open Channel Flow
Classification of Open-Channel Flows
Obstructions cause the flow depth to vary.
Rapidly varied flow (RVF) occurs over a short distance
near the obstacle.
Gradually varied flow (GVF) occurs over larger distances
and usually connects UF and RVF.

Specific Energy
This plot is very useful
Easy to see breakdown of Es into pressure (y)
and dynamic (V2/2g) head
Es   as y  0
Es  y for large y
Es reaches a minimum called the critical point.
There is a minimum Es required to support the
given flow rate.
Noting that Vc = sqrt(gyc)
For a given Es > Es,min, there are two different
depths, or alternating depths, which can occur
for a fixed value of Es
A small change in Es near the critical point
causes a large difference between alternate
depths and may cause violent fluctuations in flow
level. Operation near this point should be
avoided.

Uniform Flow in Channels
Uniform depth occurs
when the flow depth (and
thus the average flow
velocity) remains
constant
Common in long straight
runs
Flow depth is called
normal depth yn
Average flow velocity is
called uniform-flow
velocity V0

Chapter 13: Open Channel Flow
Uniform Flow in Channels
Uniform depth is maintained as long as the slope,
cross-section, and surface roughness of the channel
remain unchanged.
During uniform flow, the terminal velocity reached, and
the head loss equals the elevation drop
We can the solve for velocity (or flow rate)
Where C is the Chezy coefficient. f is the friction
factor determined from the Moody chart or the
Colebrook equation

Same analysis can be
performed for a trapezoidal
channel
Similarly, taking the derivative
of p with respect to q, shows
that the optimum angle is
For this angle, the best flow
depth is

Gradually Varied Flow
In GVF, y and V vary slowly,
and the free surface is stable
In contrast to uniform flow, Sf 
S0. Now, flow depth reflects
the dynamic balance between
gravity, shear force, and
inertial effects
To derive how how the depth
varies with x, consider the total
head

Take the derivative of H
Slope dH/dx of the energy line is equal to negative of the
friction slope

Introducing continuity equation, which can be written as
Differentiating with respect to x gives
Substitute dV/dx back into equation from previous slide,
and using definition of the Froude number gives a
relationship for the rate of change of depth

Gradually Varied Flow
This result is important. It
permits classification of liquid
surface profiles as a function of
Fr, S0, Sf, and initial conditions.
Bed slope S0 is classified as
Steep : yn < yc
Critical : yn = yc
Mild : yn > yc
Horizontal : S0 = 0
Adverse : S0 < 0
Initial depth is given a number
1 : y > yn
2 : yn < y < yc
3 : y < yc
