Open channel flow is flow of a liquid in a conduit with a free surface subjected to atmospheric pressure.
Examples: flow of water in rivers, canals, partially full sewersand drains and flow of water over land.

3Practical applications are the determination of:a. flow depth in rivers, canals and other conveyance conduits,b. changes in flow depth due to channel controls e.g. weirs,
spillways, and gates,c. changes in river stage during floods,d. surface runoff from rainfall over land, e. optimal channel design, andf. others
1.1 Flow Parameters and Geometric Elementsa. Depth of flow y is the vertical measure of water depth.
Normal depth d is measured normal to the channel bottom.d = y cos
For most applications, d y when 10%. cos 0.1 = 0.995.

1.2 Types of Open Channel Prismatic and non-prismatic channels
Prismatic channel is the channel which cross-sectional shape, size and bottom slope are constant. Most of the man-made (artificial) channels are prismatic channels over long stretches. Examples ofman-made channels are irrigation canal, flume, drainage ditches, roadside gutters, drop, chute, culvert and tunnel.All natural channels generally have varying cross-sections and therefore are non-prismatic. Examples of natural channels are tiny hillside rivulets, through brooks, streams, rivers and tidal estuaries.
Rigid and mobile boundary channelsRigid channels are channels with boundaries that is not deformable. Channel geometry and roughness are constant over time. Typical examples are lined canals, sewers and non-erodible unlined canals.Mobile boundary channels are channels with boundaries that undergo deformation due to the continuous process of erosion anddeposition due to the flow. Examples are unlined man-made channels and natural rivers.
-
6Canals - is usually a long and mild-sloped channel built in the ground, which may be unlined or lined with stoned masonry, concrete, cement, wood or bituminous material.

Open-channel flume in laboratory
Flumes - is a channel of wood, metal, concrete, or masonry, usually supported on or above the surface of the ground to carry water across a depression.
-
7Chute - is a channel having steep slopes.
Natural chute (falls) on the left and man-made logging chute on the right on the Coulonge River, Quebec, Canada
Drop - is similar to a chute, but the change in elevation is within a short distance. The spillway of Leasburg Diversion Dam is
a vertical hard basin drop structure designed to dissipate energy
Stormwater sewer - is a drain or drain system designed to drain excess rain from paved streets, parkinglots, sidewalks and roofs.

81.3 Types / Classification of Open Channel FlowsOpen channel flow conditions can be characterised with respect to space(uniform or non-uniform flows) and time (steady or unsteady flows).Space - how do the flow conditions change along the reach of an open
channel system.
Time - how do the flow conditions change over time at a specific section in an open channel system.
a. Uniform flow - depth of flow is the same at every section of the flow dy/dx = 0
b. Non-uniform flow - depth of flow varies along the flow dy/dx 0
c. Steady flow - depth of flow does not change/ constant during the time interval under consideration dy/dt = 0
d. Unsteady flow - depth of flow changes with time dy/dt 0

Gradually-varied flowRapidly-varied flow
Various types of open-channel flow
The flow is rapidly varied if the depth changes abruptly over a comparatively short distance. Examples of rapidly varied flow (RVF) are hydraulic jump, hydraulic drop, flow over weir and flow under a sluice gate.
The flow is gradually varied if the depth changes slowly over a comparatively long distance. Examples of gradually varied flow (GVF) are flow over a mild slope and the backing up of flow (backwater).

1.4 State of FlowThe state or behaviour of open-channel flow is governed basically by the viscosity and gravity effects relative to the inertial forces of the flow.
Effect of viscosity - depending on the effect of viscosity relative to inertial forces, the flow may be in laminar, turbulent, or transitional state.
- Reynolds number represents the effect of viscosity relative to inertia,
VR=Re
where V is the velocity, R is the hydraulic radius of a conduit and is the kinematic viscosity (for water at 20C, = 1.004 106 m2/s, dynamic viscosity = 1.002 103Ns/m2 and density = 998.2 kg/m3).
Re < 500 , the flow is laminar
500 < Re < 12500, the flow is transitionalRe > 12500 , the flow is turbulent
Re < 500 , the flow is laminar
500 < Re < 12500, the flow is transitionalRe > 12500 , the flow is turbulent
The flow is laminar if the viscous forces are dominant relative to inertia. Viscosity will determine the flow behaviour. In laminar flow, water particles move in definite smooth paths.
VR=Re
The flow is turbulent if the inertial forces are dominant than the viscous force. In turbulent flow, water particles move in irregular paths which are not smooth.

1.4 State of Flow
Effect of gravity - depending on the effect of gravity forces relative to inertial forces, the flow may be subcritical, critical and supercritical.
- Froude number represents the ratio of inertial forces to gravity forces,
gDV
=Fr
where V is the velocity, D is the hydraulic depth of a conduit and g is the gravity acceleration (g = 9.81 m/s2).
Fr < 1 , the flow is in subcritical stateFr = 1 , the flow is in critical state
Fr > 1 , the flow is in supercritical state

1.5 Regimes of FlowA combined effect of viscosity and gravity may produce any one of the following four regimes of flow in an open channel:a. subcritical - laminar , when Fr < 1 and Re < 500b. supercritical - laminar , when Fr > 1 and Re < 500c. supercritical - turbulent , when Fr > 1 and Re > 12500d. subcritical - turbulent , when Fr < 1 and Re > 12500
