4. INTRODUCTION
• Open channel flow is defined as the flow under the atmospheric
condition or flow of liquid with free surface.
• Best example of open channel flow is river flow

7. TYPES OF FLOW IN OCF
Steady and unsteady flow
Uniform and non- uniform flow
Laminar and turbulent flow
Sub- critical, critical and super critical flow
7
10. • Non uniform flow is further divided in
• Rapidly Varied Flow ( R. V. F.):
Suddenly change of depth in small length
• Gradually Varied Flow ( G. V. F.):
Gradually change of depth in small length

11. • Laminar and Turbulent flow
It id depends on Reynolds no. Which is written as
𝑅𝑒 = 𝜌𝑉𝑅/𝜇
Re < 600 = Laminar flow
Re < 500 − 200 = Transition flow
Re > 2000 = Turbulent flow

16. • Problem:
Find the discharge through a rectangular channel 2.5 m wide, having depth of water 1.5m and bed
slope as 1 in 2000. The channel is Earthen channel of ordinary surface. Use Bazin’s and Manning’s
formula.
Solution:
b=2.5 m
d= 1.5 m
A= b X d
A=2.5 X 1.5
A= 3.75 sqm.
P = d+b+d
P = 1.5 + 2.5 + 1.5
P = 5.5 m
Hydraulic Mean Depth = m = A/P = 3.75/5.5 = 0.682
Slop = i = 1/2000
Value of k = 2.36
Value of N = 0.027 16
19. MOST ECONOMICAL CHANNEL SECTION
• A section of channel is said to be most economical when the cost
of construction of the channel is minimum. Which is depends on
the excavation and lining. If this two thing become cheap than the
section will be the most economical section.
• In short the section which gives more discharge in less perimeter
is known as most economical channel section

21. A rectangular channel carries water at the rate of 400 liters/s when bed slope is l in 2000. Find the most economical
dimension of the channel if C = 50.
SOLUTION: - Given
Discharge ( Q ) = 400 liters / s = 0.4 m3/s
Bed Slop i = 1 / 2000
Chezy’s Constant C = 50
For the rectangular channel to be most economical
( i ) Width b = 2d
(ii) Hydraulic mean depth = m = d /2
Area of flow A= b X d = 2d X d = 2𝑑2
Using Equation of discharge

22. HYDRAULIC JUMP
• When water strike with any object or obstruction in the flow than in down
stream the fluid strike to the surface and again subjected to the rise of level this
rise of level known as hydraulic jump

23. BACK WATER CURVE
• The reservoir constructed at the down stream side of the river and this side is at the lower level
to the level of the river. In this process a angle is formed between actual level of dam and actual
level of river that curve known as back water curve.
