Conditions of flow
• In space– Uniform flow – no change in velocity, width,
depth with distance– Non-uniform flow – velocity, width, depth can
change (gradually varying, rapidly varying)
• In time– Steady flow – no change in flow with time– Unsteady flow – flow changes with time

w
Forces operating on open channels
Driving force: w sin
Resisting force: friction

Metrics of flow conditions
• Reynolds Number (Re) – ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces
Re = v R
where:v = average velocityR = “characteristic depth” (i.e. hydraulic radius) = kinematic viscosity
Re < 500 laminar flow500 < Re < 2000 transitionRe > 2000 turbulent flow

Metrics of flow conditions
• Froude Number (Fr) – ratio of inertial forces to gravity forces
Fr = v √g y
where:V = average velocityg = acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/sec2, 32.2 ft/sec2)y = flow depth
Fr < 1 subcritical flowFr = 1 critical flowFr > supercritical flow

Continuity
Flow or Discharge (Q) = V x A
where: V = average flow velocity at cross

Depth-averaged velocity is above the bed at about 0.4 times the depth

Resistance
Manning’s equation

where:
v = velocity (ft/sec*)R = wetted cross-sectional area/perimeter (ft*)S = slope (ft/ft*)n = Manning’s roughness coefficient* 1.49 is conversion factor for English units, use 1 if v, R, and S are in SI units
