Uniform Flow (See CERM Ch. 19)
◦ Characterized by constant depth volume, and
cross section.
◦ It can be steady or unsteady
Non-uniform Flow
◦ *Not on the test
A1V1 = A2V2
Example:
(eq. 19.8)
Consider an open channel shown in figure. Section 1 has an area of 2 ft2 and a
flow of 15 ft/sec. What must be the area of section 2 if velocity was increased 5
units higher than section 1?
Section 1
Section 2
Solution:Given: S1: Area = 2 ft2; Velocity = 15 ft/secS2: Area = Unknown;Velocity = 5 units higher that S1
Thus (15 + 5) = 20 ft/sec
Using continuity equation: A1V1 = A2V2
(2 ft2) x (15 ft/sec) = A2 x (20 ft/sec)
A2 = 1.5 ft2 Answer
Chezy equation: (Eq. 19.9)
Manning’s equation for C value:
Where: Use for large channels.n is roughness coefficient (See App. 19.1 A CERM)
R is hydraulic radius (See table 19.2 for details)
(Eq. 19.11(b))
Where: Use for small, smooth channels.C is constant (also known as C-Value)
R is hydraulic radius (See table 19.2 for details, R=A/P)
S is slope of channel
Combining Eq. 19.9 and 19.11
For flow rate (Q) us Manning’s Equation:
(Eq. 19.12 (b))
Q = Av
(Eq. 19.13 (b))
Example: Open Channel - Rectangular Section
Determine the flow rate of a rectangular channel on a 0.003 slope constructed using rubble masonry. The cross sectional dimension of the channel is 7 ft wide and 4 ft deep. Assume the flow is uniform and steady.
Solution:Find the value of important parameters
1. Hydraulic Radius
2. C – Value using Manning’s Equation
R = A/P: A = 7 ft x 4 ft = 28 ft2
P = 7 ft + 4 ft + 4 ft = 15 ft
R = (28 ft2)/(15 ft) = 1.87 ft
From App. 19.A, the roughness coefficient of rubble
masonry is 0.017
C = (1.49/0.017) x (1.87)^ (1/6) = 97.29
3. The flow rate (Q)
Q =vA = (C(RS)^(1/2))A =
(97.29(1.87x.003)^(0.5))28 =
= 204.03 ft3/s Answer

water.

Example: Open Channel – Slope of bed
The bottom of trapezoidal canal is 8.2 ft and its side are both inclined at 60⁰ with the horizontal. Determine the slope of the channel bed if Q = 495 ft3/s, v = 5 ft/s and C = 35.
Solution:
Working Formulas:
See Table 19.2
Solve for the slope:
Solve for d (for trapezoid):
S = 0.0054S = 0.0054 (answer)
A modified Bernoulli equation can be used, taking the horizontal datum as the channel bottom, z = 0, so the equation becomes
But the first term, (p/) gives the depth of the water (it is the HGL), so the equation is further simplified and renamed specific energy, E.
Setting the first derivative equal to zero and solving for d gives the critical depth, which occurs when the specific energy is at a minimum. And for rectangular channels, this reduces to several forms.

Specific Energy Diagram is a plot of E versus d
for a unique Q. See Ch. 19 of the CERM.
d1 and d2 are conjugate depths because they share the same value
of specific energy and are calculated only when there has been an
abrupt energy loss, such as a hydraulic jump.
If the normal depth is calculated to be:• less than the theoretical critical depth, then the flow
regime is supercritical .
• greater than the theoretical critical depth, then the
flow regime is subcritical.
• equal to the theoretical critical depth, then the flow
regime is critical.
A hydraulic jump occurs only when the
upstream normal depth is supercritical and
the downstream normal depth is subcritical.
For rectangular channels:
V1²=( )(d1+d2) (Eq. 19.94)
More variations of this equation are
found in the same section of the CERM.
