Allah then declared His divine Oneness, saying:
(Allah is He Who created the heavens and the
earth, and causeth water) rain (to descend from
the sky, thereby producing) the rain brought forth
(fruits) different kinds of fruit (as food for you) and
for all other created beings, (and maketh the ships
to be of service) subservient (unto you, that they)
i.e. the ships (may run upon the sea at His
command) by His permission and will, (and hath
made of service) subservient (unto you the
rivers) they flow wherever you want;

What is Open Channel Flow?
Open-channel flows are those that are
not entirely included within rigid
boundaries; a part of the flow is in
contract with nothing at all, just empty
space (atmosphere).
The surface of the flow thus formed is called a free
surface,
As the flow boundary is freely deformable, in contrast
to the solid boundaries. The boundary conditions at the
free surface of an open-channel flow are always that
both the pressure and the shear stress are zero
everywhere
The flow in open channel is due to the action of gravity.

Department of Civil Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar
What is Open Channel Flow?
The flow in open channel is due to
the action of gravity.
The flow in a conduit may be open cannel flow or pipe
flow
Open Channel flow has open surface where the pipe
flow has none.
Open channel flow is subjected to atmospheric
pressure.

Difference between O.C.F and Pipe
Flow
In terms of hydrualics:
 The water level in the tubes are maintained by the
pressure in the pipe at elevations represented by the so-
called Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL).
 The pressure exerted by the water in each section of the
pipe is indicated by the corresponding tube by the height
of the water column above waterline of the pips.
 Total energy of the section is elevation Z of the pipe center
line, the piezometric height y and the velocity head V2/2g.
Where V = mean flow velocity.

 Channel Section
A cross section taken normal to the direction of flow is called a channel section.
 Depth of Flow Section ‘y’
It is the vertical distance of the lowest point of the channel section from the free surface.
 Depth of Flow Section ‘d’
It is the depth of flow normal to the direction of flow.
 Stage ‘Z’
It is the vertical distance of free surface above a specified datum.

 Wetted Perimeter ‘P’
It is the length of line of intersection of channel wetted surface with a cross-sectional plane
normal to the flow direction.
 Hydraulic Radius ‘R’
It is the ratio of flow area to wetted perimeter, i.e., R=A/P.
 Top Width ‘B’
It is the width of the channel section at the free surface.
 Hydraulic Depth ‘D’

 HYDRAULIC GRADE LINE (HGL)
A line joining the top of the liquid surface in the
piezometers in a closed conduit or an open
channel is called hydraulic grade line. In pipe
flow, the height of HGL above a specified
datum is called the piezometric head at that
location.
In free surface flow, the HGL usually, but not
always, coincides with the free surface.

 ENERGY GRADE LINE (EGL)
If the velocity head is added to the top of
the HGL and the resulting points are joined by
a line, then this line is called energy grade line.
EGL represents the total head at different
sections of a closed conduit or an open
channel.

 Flume
A channel supported above ground and built of wood, metal or concrete is called a flume.
 Chute
A chute is a channel having very steep bottom slope and almost vertical sides.

 Culvert
A short channel flowing partly full is known as culvert.
 Prismatic Channel
A channel having the same cross section and bottom slope is referred to as a prismatic
channel
 Non-Prismatic Channel

 STEADY AND UNSTEADY FLOWS
If the flow velocity at a given point does not change with respect to time, then the flow is
called steady flow. However, if the velocity at a given location changes with respect to time,
then the flow is called unsteady flow.
 UNIFORM AND NON-UNIFORM FLOWS
If the flow velocity at a given instant of time does not change within a given length of
channel, then the flow is called uniform flow. However, if the flow velocity at a time varies with
respect to distance, then the flow is called non-uniform flow or varied flow.

 GRADUALLY & RAPIDLY VARIED FLOW
If the flow depth varies at a slow rate with respect to distance, then the flow is called
gradually varied flow (GVF) whereas if the flow depth varies significantly in a short distance
then the flow is called rapidly varied flow.
 LAMINAR AND TURBULENT FLOWS
If the liquid particles appear to move in definite smooth paths and flow appears to be as a
movement of thin layers on top of each other, then the flow is called laminar flow.
 In turbulent flow, the liquid particles move in irregular paths which are not fixed with
respect to either time or space.
 The value of Reynolds number (Re=VL/) determines whether the flow is laminar or
turbulent.

VELOCITY DISTRIBUTION
7/5/2024
24
Department of Civil Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar
The flow velocity in a channel section varies
from one point to another. This is due to shear
stress at the bottom and the sides of the
channel and due to the presence of free
surface. Following figures show typical velocity
distributions in different channel cross-sections.
Measurements Of Velocity
25
 According of stream-ganging procedure of the U.S
Geologic survey, the channel cross-section is divided into
vertical strips by a number of successive vertical, and
mean velocities in vertical are determined by measuring
the velocity at 0.6 of the depth of each vertical or where
more reliable results are required by taking the average at
0.2 and 0.8 of the water depth.
 The average of mean velocities in any two adjacent
vertical multiply by the area between the verticals gives
the discharge through this vertical strip.
