Introduction flow of a liquid may take place either as open channel flow or pressure flow. The flow rate in an open channel is established by the dynamic. In an openchannel flow, there are three types of flow depending on the value of froude number. Open channel flow i the manning equation and uniform flow harlan h. Water flow in a river, for example, is driven by the elevation difference between the source and the sink. Analysis flow in a channel is driven naturally by gravity. Formula for calculating critical depth of trapezoidal open. In open channel flow, the volume of flow and the rate at which flow travels are useful in.
