Introduction• Analysis of steady non uniform flow in open
channels.
• Non uniform flow occurs in transitions where there is change in cross section or obstruction in channel.
• Analysis requires a different approach, requiring the use of the energy equation in a different form.

• D increases, v increases, E curve is asymptotic to OA

Control sections
• Control sections – cross sections at which the flow passes through the critical depth.
• Such sections are limiting factor in the design of channel. and some of the cases in which they occur are:– Transition from tranquil to shooting flow
– Entrance to a channel of steep slope from a reservoir
– Free outfall from a channel with a mild slope
– Change in bed level or change in width of channel

• Upstream slope is mild and s is less than the critical slope sc.
• Over s considerable distance the depth will change smoothly from D1 to D2.
• At the break in the slope, the depth will pass through DC forming a control section which regulates the upstream depth.
• At the tail end, the reverse transition from shooting to tranquil flow occurs suddenly by means of a hydraulic jump.

Entrance to a channel of steep slope from a reservoir
• If depth of flow in the channel is less than DC for the channel, water surface must pass through DC in the vicinity of the entrance, since conditions in the reservoir correspond to tranquil flow.

• If slope s of the channel is less than sc the upstream flow will be tranquil.
• At the outfall, theoretically, the depth will be critical, DC.
• In practice, gravitational acceleration will cause an increase of velocity at the brink so that D < DC.
• While experiments indicate that depending on the slope upstream:– DC occurs at distance of between 3DC to 10DC from the brink.
– D at the brink is approximately 0.7DC.

Flow over a broad-crested weir
• Broad-crested weir is an obstruction in the form of a raised portion of the bed extending across the full width of the channel with a flat upper surface or crest sufficiently broad in the direction of flow for the surface of the liquid to become parallel to the crest.
• Upstream edge is rounded to avoid separation losses that occur at a sharp edged.
• The flow upstream of the weir is tranquil and the conditions downstream of the weir allow a free fall over the weir.

• If the level of the flow downstream is raised, the surface level will be drawn down over the hump, but the depth may not fall to the critical depth.
• The rate of flow can be calculated by applying Bernoulli’s s Equation and continuity equation and depends on the difference in surface level upstream and over the weir.

Example 4.4
A broad crested weir 500 mm high is used to measure the discharge in a rectangular channel. The width of the channel is 20 m and the height of the channel upstream of the weir is 1.25 m. What is the discharge in the channel if water falls freely over the weir? Assume that the velocity upstream is very small. Determine the difference in water level between upstream and over the top of the weir.

Effect of lateral contraction of a channel
• When width of a channel is reduced while bed remains flat, q increases.
• As channel narrows - neglecting losses, E remains constant – for tranquil flow, depth will decrease while for shooting flow depth will increases.

• Height of upstream water level above the hump, H = D1 – Z
• When upstream conditions are tranquil and the bed slope is the same downstream as upstream, impossible for shooting flow to be maintained for any great distance from the throat.
• Revert to tranquil flow downstream by means of a hydraulic jump or standing wave.
• Venturi flume operating in this mode is known as standing wave flume.

Example 4.5
A venturi flume is constructed in a channel which is 3.5 m wide. If the throat width in the flume is 1.2 m and the depth upstream from the constriction is 1.25 m , calculate the discharge in the channel when the depth at the throat is 1.2 m. If the conditions are such that a standing wave is formed, what is the discharge?
