Chapter 4 Open-Channel Flow
Hydraulics Manual M Page 4-1 March 2022 4-1 Introduction An open channel is a watercourse that allows part of the flow to be exposed to the atmosphere. This type of channel includes rivers, culverts, stormwater systems that flow by gravity, roadside ditches, and roadway gutters. Open-Channel flow design criteria are used in the following areas of transportation design: river stabilization (Section 4-6) Partially full flow pipes Roadside ditches (Section 4-3) Bridge design Downstream analysisProper design requires that open channels have sufficient hydraulic capacity to convey the flow of the design storm. In the case of earth-lined channels or river channels, bank protection is also required if the shear stress is high enough to cause erosion or scouring.
