CHAPTER 4 FLOW IN CHANNELS INTRODUCTION 1 Flows in conduits or CHANNELS are of interest in science, engineering, and everyday life. Flows in closed conduits or CHANNELS , like pipes or air ducts, are entirely in contact with rigid boundaries. Most closed conduits in engineering applications are either circular or rectangular in cross section. open - channel flows, on the other hand, are those whose boundaries are not entirely a solid and rigid material; the other part of the boundary of such flows may be another fluid, or nothing at all.
