Gradually Varied Flow
¢ So far in open channels we considered uniform flow during which the flow depth z and the flow velocity v remain constant.

Gradually Varied Flow
¢ In this section we consider gradually varied flow (GVF), which is a form of steady nonuniform flow characterized by gradual variations in flow depth and velocity (small slopes and no abrupt changes) and a free surface that always remains smooth (no discontinuities or zigzags).

Gradually Varied Flow
¢ Flows that involve rapid changes in flow depth and velocity, are called rapidly varied flows (RVF).
¢ A change in the bottom slope or cross section of a channel or an obstruction in the path of flow may cause the uniform flow in a channel to become gradually or rapidly varied flow.

Gradually Varied Flow
¢ In gradually varied flow, the flow depth and velocity vary slowly, and the free surface is stable.
¢ This makes it possible to formulate the variation of flow depth along the channel on the basis of the conservation of mass and energy principles and to obtain relations for the profile of the free surface.

Gradually Varied Flow
¢ In uniform flow, the slope of the energy line is equal to the slope of the bottom surface. Therefore, the friction slope equals the bottom slope, Sf = S0.
¢ In gradually varied flow, however, these slopes are different.

Gradually Varied Flow ¢ Consider steady flow in a rectangular open
channel of width b, and assume any variation in the bottom slope and water depth to be rather gradual.

Gradually Varied Flow ¢ Write the equations in terms of average
velocity v and assume the pressure distribution to be hydrostatic.

Gradually Varied Flow ¢ The total head of the liquid at any cross
section is H = zb + y + v 2/2g, where zb is the vertical distance of the bottom surface from the reference datum.
¢ Differentiating H with respect to x gives

Gradually Varied Flow ¢ In this expression, z is the depth of the
channel bottom from the datum elevation, not the depth of flow in the channel.

S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ The dy/dx term is the slope of the water
surface profile as you move down the channel.

S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
14
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ This relation is derived for a rectangular
channel, but it is also valid for channels of other constant cross sections provided that the Froude number is expressed accordingly.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 27
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ An analytical or numerical solution of this
differential equation gives the flow depth y as a function of x for a given set of parameters, and the function y(x) is the surface profile.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 28
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
15
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ The general trend of flow depth—whether it
increases, decreases, or remains constant along the channel—depends on the sign of dy/dx, which depends on the signs of the numerator and the denominator.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 29
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ The Froude number is always positive and
so is the friction slope Sf .
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 30
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
16
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ The bottom slope S0 is positive for down-
ward-sloping sections, zero for horizontal sections, and negative for upward-sloping sections of a channel (adverse flow).
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 31
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ The flow depth increases when dy/dx > 0,
decreases when dy/dx < 0, and remains constant (and thus the free surface is parallel to the channel bottom, as in uniform flow) when dy/dx = 0 and thus S0 = Sf.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 32
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
17
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ For specified values of S0 and Sf, the term
dy/dx may be positive or negative, depending on whether the Froude number is less than or greater than 1.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 33
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ Therefore, the flow behavior is opposite in
subcritical and supercritical flows. For S0 - Sf > 0, for example, the flow depth increases in the flow direction in subcritical flow, but it decreases in supercritical flow.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 34
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
18
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ Open-channel systems are designed and
built on the basis of the projected flow depths along the channel.
¢ Therefore, it is important to be able to predict the flow depth for a specified flow rate and specified channel geometry.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 35
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ A plot of flow depths gives the surface
profile of the flow. ¢ The general characteristics of surface
profiles for gradually varied flow depend on the bottom slope and flow depth relative to the critical and normal depths.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 36
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
19
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ A typical open channel involves various
sections of different bottom slopes S0 and different flow regimes, and thus various sections of different surface profiles.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 37
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ For example, the general shape of the
surface profile in a downward-sloping section of a channel is different than that in an upward-sloping section.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 38
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
20
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ Likewise, the profile in subcritical flow is
different than the profile in supercritical flow. ¢ Unlike uniform flow that does not involve
inertia forces, gradually varied flow involves acceleration and deceleration of liquid, and the surface profile reflects the dynamic balance between liquid weight, shear force, and inertial effects.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 39
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ Each surface profile is identified by a letter
that indicates the slope of the channel and by a number that indicates flow depth relative to the critical depth yc and normal depth yn.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 40
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
21
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ The slope of the channel can be mild (M),
critical (C), steep (S), horizontal (H), or adverse (A).
¢ The channel slope is said to be mild if yn > yc, steep if yn < yc, critical if yn = yc, horizontal if S0 = 0 (zero bottom slope), and adverse if S0 < 0 (negative slope).

Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 42
22
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ The classification of a channel section
depends on the flow rate and the channel cross section as well as the slope of the channel bottom.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 43
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ A channel section that is classified to have a
mild slope for one flow can have a steep slope for another flow, and even a critical slope for a third flow.
¢ Therefore, we need to calculate the critical depth yc and the normal depth yn before we can assess the slope.

Gradually Varied Flow ¢ The number
designation indicates the initial position of the liquid surface for a given channel slope relative to the surface levels in critical and uniform flows.

S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx

¢ A surface profile is designated by 1 if the flow depth is above both critical and normal depths (y > yc and y > yn).
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 46
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
24
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ 2 if the flow depth is
between the two (yn >y>yc or yn<y<yc).
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 47
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ And 3 if the flow depth
is below both the critical and normal depths (y < yc and y < yn).
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 48
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
25
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ Therefore, three
different profiles are possible for a specified type of channel slope.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 49
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ For channels with zero
or adverse slopes, type 1 flow cannot exist since the flow can never be uniform in horizontal and upward channels, and thus normal depth is not defined.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 50
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
26
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ Also, type 2 flow does
not exist for channels with critical slope since normal and critical depths are identical in this case.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 51
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ The five classes of
slopes and the three types of initial positions discussed give a total of 12 distinct configurations for surface profiles in GVF.

S0 −Sf

30
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ A good starting point for the determination of
the surface profile is the identification of the points along the channel, called the control points, at which the flow depth can be calculated from a knowledge of flow rate.
Friday, November 9, 2012 Gradually Varied Flow 59
S0 −Sf
1− Fr 2( ) =dydx
Gradually Varied Flow ¢ For example, the flow depth at a section of a
rectangular channel where critical flow occurs, called the critical point, can be deter- mined from yc = (Q2/gb2)1/3.
¢ The normal depth yn, which is the flow depth reached when uniform flow is established, also serves as a control point.
