Prof. Dr. At l BULU 1 Chapter 4 open Channel Flows introduction When the surface of flow is open to atmosphere, in other terms when there is only atmospheric pressure on the surface, the flow is named as open Channel flow. The governing force for the open Channel flow is the gravitational force component along the Channel slope. Water flow in rivers and streams are obvious examples of open Channel flow in natural channels. Other occurrences of open Channel flow are flow in irrigation canals, sewer systems that flow partially full, storm drains, and street gutters. Classification of open Channel Flows A Channel in which the cross-sectional shape and size and also the bottom slope are constant is termed as a prismatic Channel . Most of the man made (artificial) channels are prismatic channels over long stretches.
