Week 4: Flow in Open Channels

  • Topics:

    • Characteristics of open channel flow.

    • Specific energy, critical depth, and flow classification (subcritical, supercritical).

    • Manning’s equation and channel design.

    • Hydraulic jumps and gradually varied flow.

  • Activities:

    • Case study: irrigation channel design.

    • In-class problem sets on flow depth and velocity profiles.
