Open Channel Hydraulics

Objective:

√ Students to differentiate Open channel flows and pipe flow. 

√ Also, the students to develop advanced understanding of steady and unsteady water flow 

in open channels including streams & rivers.

Outcome: 

Students will be able to:

√ Apply energy and momentum concepts to analyze open channel flow 

 √Apply the Manning Equation and Chezy Equation to describe uniform flow and principle 

of continuity equation

√ Identify flow as gradually varied flow and rapidly varied flow and determine their flow profiles in different types of channels and hydraulic structures.
