Flow Through Open Channels – Describe the flow of a fluid through open channel. What is the formula to calculate flow and discharge through open channel.
According to Chezy formula, the mean velocity of liquid,
where
C = Chezy’s constant,
A = Area of flow,
m = Hydraulic mean depth
= Area of flow (A) / Wetted perimeter (P)
= d/4, for circular pipe
According to Manning’s formula, discharge through an open channel,
where
M = Manning’s constant.
